It was a very relaxing weekend...

drives through the frosty countryside

baguettes so fresh i had to carry them home with gloves

boeuf bourginon made by a wonderful friend

bubbly champagne before (and sometimes after) nearly every meal

warm slippers on cold country home floors

train rides through burgundy

excited students this morning, telling me about the weather all over the world

I spent the weekend with Mr. S at his parents home in the Champagne region of France

It was nice, relaxed, and included visits to some of his cousins and friends I haven't seen in far too long.

The night sky was clear and crisp, I saw stars and the moon! 

I've missed that.

Then it was train ride back last night and lots of prep for today, back with my students.

They were great this morning, giving weather reports from around the world.

And they don't know it yet,

but they'll be singing Coldplay and playing 'Guess Who' this afternoon

with guest appearances by 

Michael Phelps

Audrey Tatou

David Beckham

Lady Gaga

and

TinTin

it's going to be fun!
