A TALE OF TWO CITIES

Well, here I am back on dry, stable land, tired, severely dehydrated but happy. And I've almost recovered from my illness; I just have an annoying little dry cough now instead of a loud, barking one. And I’ve never been through so many security procedures as on this trip but luckily there was no frisking (or should that be unluckily?). There was a new (for me) security ‘puffer’ experience where the machine blows air over you and then sniffs to see if you have traces of chemicals on you – I’m clean, by the way. So, one more security check and eurostar journey and then I’ll be back in Paris ready to tackle my pupils again!
