A blog post by Emma Kate Jones was featuredHAPPY NEW YEAR - NOT!
I spent last night talking to all my family and friends in England, we talked about house parties and fun and other such things that you can do when you have a network of friends and a disposable income. This made me VERY homesick indeed. So, here I am, searching for like minded people from the UK living in France. Really I just want someone to reassure me and tell me that I am not mad and it's perfectly normal to regret moving to France!
