The En Famille roller coaster is slowing down now. Will soon be time to get off and get ready for the next ride. I’m heading out of london on the Paris bound Eurostar, en route to Stringbean’s French family, tomorrow she flies home with me 
Whilst excited that she is coming home, it also feels a bit odd. It’s feels a bit odd that she has had this other life somewhere else that we have just glimpsed bits of really. And we have settled into a bit of a different rythym here.
I wonder how SB will about being home, and about the last 6 months, and how she will have changed. And of course we aren’t going to be going back to normal anyway, this is just an interlude before FrenchBean joins us, which is another whole scary kettle of fish.
It’s been hard at times, saying goodbye to SB in France last year was so difficult. BB has struggled at times, it took her some weeks to settle down, and I will always remember just how tight she hugged SB when we left. But it has also been lovely to see how well it has worked for SB. Bow happy she is, how good her French is. We are so proud of her and pleased that we felt able to rise to the her challenge.
Time to post, almost under the channel
Tht’as going to make things a lot easier from here on out.
