Monday, January 7

i am finally here! after the longest flight in the history of flights, that i barely slept through, i can finally say i live in Paris. considering plane food isnt THAT bad and you feel like youre practically besties with the person sitting next you for 13hours, i cant complain about the flight. i did however wear the same clothes for three days because the left our luggage in London. it arrived today at 4pm nd i gladly changed into warmer clothes (that arent that much out of fashion). i havnt seen too many young people as of yet but most women are wearing kneee length shorts with tights and boots... anyway isnt too cold. only 4 degrees................ haha but really it isnt that cold. it was beautiful today very fresh and crisp i think.

today (sunday) is clearly a day of rest in Paris, no shops r open execpt the sunday markets which sell the freshest of fresh food and the big supermarket which closes at 12.30pm. Dimitra (mum) Koni (oldest girl) and i (nanny) walked to both places and bought the weeks groceries. i didnt attempt much french though. i have found that noone will serve you unless you say hello.

the city is beautiful, absolutely stunning. 

the girls are fabulous, well mannered and healthy.

the family is so welcoming and accommodating.

i love it already but cant belive how much i miss my house my stuff my family and friends.

anway this is the first of many emails.

ps: dont mind the spelling, grammar or crap sentence structure. 

love stephanie x
