A Nou Nou Abroad...

"The thing is, Adam, time travel is like visiting Paris. You can't just read the guide book. You've got to throw yourself in, eat the food, use the wrong verbs, get charged double and end up kissing complete strangers - or is that just me? Stop asking questions. Go and do it!"-- The Doctor, Doctor Who
"That's it! I'm going to Paris! I'm going to shop my ass off!"-- Donna, Becker
"An au pair is a live-in baby sitter. They work for room and board. They're usually foreigners"-- Jack Gallo, Just Shoot Me
"Behave yourself cherie... or Nanny will be forced to use the wooden spoon!"-- Belize, Angels In America
"Didn't your mother tell you not to talk to strange frogs?"-- Kermit, The Muppets at Walt Disney World

Well, Lady Cigar Head recommended that I get back to posting on this blog. I keep on meaning to and her suggestion is just the impetus I need. I am not sure how consistent I will be, but I will try to be better!

Since, our Little Buttercup made the suggestion, it seems only right that I write about her and the absolutely fabulous adventure she is on.

Lady Cigar Head had been the Marquessa of Mount Holyoke, but was gifted by the Queen with a higher title... La Tête de Cigare de Dame, la Princesse de Paris. I am sure that my French translation of Lady Cigar Head, Princess of Paris leaves something to be desired. I assume, she will let me know how right or wrong I am.

Anyhoo... before going to school to become a Barrister Extrodinairé, she has taken a year off and decided to be an au Pair for a French family.

She has been in Paris since August and is having the time of her life... sucking the marrow out of outrageous fortune... All with an excellent sidekick and a besotted french paramour. Ah... life is good for her. Taking care of the kids during the day and setting Paris on fire at night. She is a Monet freak, so her trip to Giverney was a spiritual experience. Very cool! How I envy her...

To follow her travels and exploits, check out Emberina's Blog. To follow her escapades as a Nou Nou (Nanny), checkout Ember In Paris. Her posts are a hoot and her photography amazing so, when you get a chance, take a look.

She is a stellar gourmet cook and will comeback practically fluent in French... this in addition to being fluent in Italian. She is a pretty amazing young Princess in Waiting. We miss her awful!

Well, it is snowing like a S.O.B. here, so I will be heading home early. The Prince Consort awaits my safe return. And remember...

Rester froid et sûr!
