Pissing everywhere is'nt very Chanel!!

I have just come back from a weekend in my future place of residence, Val d'isere. This was a trip to make sure that husband and I had made the right choice and to check out the practicalities of moving to a foreign country.

Yes thats what we did, checked out all those sensible things, place to live( yep think we may have that one sorted, maybe!!), medical stuff (seems will cost us to be ill, note to self: stock up on vitamin C!!!), job oportunities (I now know where I definately don't want to work!!), important contacts (well, contact!!).

But most importantly it was great to be back there again. Such a great place to be, loved everything about it as much as I did before and feel sure this is the right thing to be doing.

One of the funny things I found this weekend though was the french (I know , I know! not that bold a statement), the language and the people!! I do not profess to be an expert on the language, I have been trying to learn though, i've an in car cd which must make me look like a mad person talking to myself on my way to and from work!!! I can just about get by on the basics, but every time I spoke to a native in their mother tongue, they replied in english!! Either my accent is so bloody awful 'la francais' feel the best way to stop me talking is to reply in english or i'm wasting my time learning if they're going to speak english all the time anyway!! But I am a great believer of when in Rome, (or Val d'isere).......

Weirdly though I found a very useful french phrase in this months Vogue whilst reading it on the outbound plane journey, "Si tu pisses partout, t'es pas Chanel du tout.", pissing everywhere is'nt very Chanel!!!!! Someone should tell the french that!!!
