Over the last few months I have been corresponding with old friends from my time at school in Paris. I was there from the age of 10 till 13 and a half (the half is important at that age isn't it?) and these were some of the most amazing times of my life. I think living abroad for a time should be a compulsory part of growing up - I guess that's why we are so behind Stuart going to the US for a year.

It may be over 30 years since we spoke but it's like we've always been in touch, so many great shared memories are being bandied about. So many things I forgot about and it all comes flooding back. We did a lot of growing up very early eek!

This was my school photograph from the first year we were there.
