It has been a while since I started vintage and in the mean time finished weeks ago - it was a very strange, quiet, slow vintage which in the end means less work. Therefore, my contract did not get extended and I had to come up with some new ideas. Since vintage was bad all around, finding a job straight away here in Marlborough, New Zealand was a bit of a challenge.
Solution: flying to France, take up a job for 5 months in the South and spend some extra time in Europe after that.
So, on 1 July I will be in a plane to Paris and starting work straight after arrival, which also means that I will not be able to watch the Euro2012 final.
This is where I will be: http://www.maplandia.com/france/languedoc-roussillon/gard/ales/cruviers-lascours/, so the area is not too bad at all! Great advantage is that I will be pretty close to Spain and Italy as well!
Well, needless to say, that I had and still have some stressful times, but hopefully the French summer will make me relax. In the meantime I have started French lessons to be better prepared for my life there. And hopefully I will find someone to rent my place, because my job in France is mainly to build up some extra experience.
I still need to get used to the idea myself - and if any of you Europeans would like to come to visit, let me know, since I will have most weekends off in July and August.
Au revoir!
Anita
