Not right now...

I'm sad to say I didn't get the job. It was a very exciting time and both Fabrice and I would have loved to move to such a beautiful town, but Bordeaux is not for now. I can't say I'm not sad, but I know there's so much of Lyon and the area yet to discover and I'm quite glad to stay near my sister and her kids, so I'll survive. Also, having little choice now but to go freelance, that'll keep me out of trouble I'm sure. Fabrice is the one who most needed the change I suppose and I think he's far more disappointed than I am.

We spent this week on holiday there visiting and discovering the town, the area, the wine, and we enjoyed that and the sun which warmed each day in spite of the nippy wind.

There're proportionally more British tourists and expats in Bordeaux than in Lyon, probably because of the wine and the sea.

Tuesday was spent on the beach in Arcachon, lovely long sandy... then St Émilion on Wednesday afternoon and Château Pape Clément on Friday afternoon. The rest of the time we mostly trod the majestic streets of Bordeaux, noses in the air and  sun on our backs and found many nice places to eat and stop a while.
