Merry Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas from Ireland! Lots of love to freinds and family, who probably don't even check this blog anymore due to its lack of activity!
I would dearly love to be updating more regularly but it's just not possible at the moment! My laptop died (needs new hard drive-eep!) around the time of my last post and it's not getting fixed anytime soon. So it's internet cafes when it's absolutely vital and thus very few updates. I have had an ok couple of months. The cold greyness of Paris has been a little miserable, and work was very busy leading up to Christmas. But despite missing home a bit and having the flu (send your pity my way), I am finding things to be happy about everyday!
I'm on a two week holiday right now, and arrived in Ireland this morning. My Irish friend from Paris has invited me to spend Christmas with her family in Belfast. We've already been out for burnt coffe, driven around the water front, through the ex-IRA hot spots and past the local castle. It's very relaxing to be holidaying in an english-speaking country! I think much of my time is going to be spent curled up in front of the fire eating mince pies!
I might be organised enough to post again with photos in the next few weeks.
Hope those of you in the Southern hemisphere are having a lovely toasty summer holiday!
