Bonjour Je suis un professeur d'anglais. Certains de mes étudiants chinois m'ont récemment demandé de créer un cours vidéo pour leurs enfants. Ces leçons sont sur une plate-forme chinoise. Je vis en France

Last year I had a plan – and I didn’t do it! This year I had a plan – but I had only done part of it. How was I going to correct this? There comes a point when you realise that you simply cannot do everything.

I am always trying to get the kids outside. As a result we have skateboards, snakeboards, inline skates, penny boards and scooters as well as cycles! It may sound a lot, but they are pretty much all used.

The news today is horrific. The awful collapse of the bridge in Genoa, the Brits worrying about a terror attack on Parliament, while Turkey is on the brink of financial chaos. All these terrible events

I am always encouraging my kids to finish what they start, but sometimes that is the wrong advice. Below is a photo of a sketch I was working on. I am not an artist, it was just for a bit of fun. I started

Everywhere has a story to tell and the cathedral in Narbonne is fascinating. It is believed to have been a place to worship since 313 BC, when it was a Constantinian basilica. This was destroyed by a fire

A festive weekend in France. As I write this the Marseillaise is playing on the TV in the lead-up to the World Cup final. Hopefully there will be more good news for the French later today, but in the meantime

Some cities are better than others when it comes to getting in the summer mood and Narbonne does it in style. We had an amazing day out on the weekend. In our little town of just over 50,000 this is what

We face a million decisions every day – at least it feels that way! However, some are so straight forward and easy that we barely notice them, while others leave us questioning ourselves and unable to

Last night was Fête de la Musique. We moved house earlier this year so it was our first one in this city. These festivals get easier as the kids get older. When they are tiny it seems more effort than

It is easy to forget to explore sometimes, but is is always time well spent. This was taken on a car trip in the Pyrenees. It doesn't matter how many times I see or drive these road they are always

I am a Londoner born and bred, never lived outside zone 1 until I was an adult (for those non-Londoners that is the most central area – sort of like downtown). Eight years ago, we moved to France, but

I was feeling rather uninspired this morning. It was one of those times where I could have easily ended up spending my whole morning reading and achieving nothing off my to-do list. I got caught up on

As a parent I am always looking for places to take the kids (especially ones with no WiFi !!!) This was a perfect place to walk and relax. A great family day out in the Tarn et Garonne in France Steepshot

We are not a tidy family. I have tried to be but is it is a constant battle. My sister was always tidier than me. The other day when nattering on the phone to her I was complaining about the diabolical

Every generation of parents face a different dilemma. For today's parents it is pretty much guaranteed that the problem involves a computer. Sometimes I think my eldest son has merged and become one with
