Life just gets better and better over here!!! I'm still in Meribel, enjoying the generally warm weather with a few snow days here and there, great work, families and staff and meeting loads of great people. This week has been particularly fantastic, starting work at 1pm when I can ski in to join the family for lunch at the best restaurants in the Three Valleys with the most amazing views just off the pistes. The children are just wonderful- four of them- 10, 8, 8 and 5. We played in the snow and ice skated and swam in the heated pool at the chalet overlooking the valley and generally had a great time together. The family has just offered me some more nannying work when they go to their villa in Provence a few times throughout the year, and to come on holidays with them to Barbados in July.... we'll see! I just feel so lucky to be here and to have these amazing experiences that won't come again.
I'm having loads of fun with the staff (I'm becoming a bit of a pub girl since that's where the people are, and am learning to 'hold my own' at a pool table) and I have some close friends now, which makes the homesickness subside a little. Having said that, Australia seems so far away now and as good as life is, I have moments of really wanting home! And by home I mean Mum, Dad, sisters, friends, Marrickville, salsa, the harbour, Wilkins, my bed....
