Wow. It’s been one hell of a journey. I’ve been around the world from England, to Australia, to Africa, to the middle of the ocean and now I find myself once again in Europe- but this time I’m not in England.
I’m in France.
And those of you who have been following my journey will understand why that’s a bit crazy for me. I had no idea when I landed at Ascension Island at the end of June this year that I would end up meeting someone. I had no idea when that person left they would want me to come to Paris. That I would actually buy a ticket.
That I would be here.
But here I am indeed, sitting with a glass of red wine, listening to the language I don’t fully understand wrap around me as Edouard sits beside me and talks with his brother. I’ve been here nearly three weeks now and already it’s been a whirlwind adventure.
So this is an announcement to let you all now that the French Diaries start this weekend. I wanted to touch base with you all to let you know that the journey will be continued. And of course I will still be working for the beloved Delos Project.
I was terrified of leaving Delos. I was so scared I would end up losing myself and crumble beneath the stresses of civilisation. But if anything I feel like I’ve stepped onto land and taken everything that my crew have taught me and put it into action.
I feel good.
I feel strong.
And most of all- I feel loved.
So I hope you all are happy to continue this journey with me, as I tell the story of landing in France, to where I am now and to the crazy future plans that await me.
I can’t wait to share with you.
But for now, just know I love you all.
Thank you for being here on this adventure with me.

Thought we may have lost you. Very much enjoy following your story. This blog format is so much more than reading a book. Love the anticipation of the next irregular entry.
