For students of all ages in France, September means 'la rentrée' - back to school. For me, it means I should start thinking of walking back to Southampton, after 4 months in Paris. So today, 1 September, I will don my trainers again and begin the trek home. I'm not sure it's going to be as easy getting home as it was getting here (not that it was terribly easy in the first place!) To be honest, I'm not sure how I managed to achieve it - it seems a lot more daunting now than when I started out, but that could be because I've had a birthday: I am now in my 60th year, having reached 59 a month ago. August was NOT a great month - nothing to do with clocking up another birthday - but those are anecdotes for another time. For now, I will concentrate on putting my best foot forward and heading north.
Adieu, Paris!
Virtually running from my current home in Southampton to my old home in Paris (and back again!)
