Hi Guys – or should I say “Salut Mes Amis”

So what did I learn from over two weeks of downing my digital tools and living the simple life in beautiful France?

  1. Summer wouldn’t be summer without a self-help book
  2. I do not need a dishwasher and definitely not a TV (but am unlikely to give them up now home)
  3. Sea-shells can provide hours of amusement for old and young alike
  4. I care not what is on the news or in the newspapers
  5. That the 200 e-mails that I had on my return actually only resulted in 4 requiring any action (2% of them). Hmmm – perhaps I need to start unsubscribing from some stuff eh?
I’ll be back posting this week once my feet touch the floor….aka once I’ve defeated the laundry monster
:-)
