Happy New Year to everybody! This has been my first posting for a while as I no longer have regular internet access. At the moment I am back in Paris having a good time meeting up with people I have not seen for a long time and generally enjoying not being in a war zone. Today is a beautiful sunny day, so I have been walking in the Jardin du Luxembourg (my favorite garden in Paris). I found that my French has really improved since this time last year - I just hope I didn`t pick up a Congolese accent! I will be back in London at the end of this week before returning to Paris. I am also planning a trip around Europe - destinations to be confirmed...
