Moving To France

As most of my friends will know (I think its only really my friends who ever read this, if anyone ever does anyway) I'm going to move to France on the 20th March, for more than 4 months, until July 31st. I'll be living and working on a campsite with a company called Canvas Holidays. I don't know where exactly yet, just that I'll be in a traning center at a place called Berny Riviere for 3 days before being sent to where ever I'm going.

The point of me doing this is mainly that I want to be fluent in French. At work I'll be dealing almost excusively with British people, but obviously outside of work I'll be able to speak and eal with the French, and hopefully it'll all come together. Another thing is that, I'll be working a 35-40 hour week with one day off a week, so obviously I won't have much time for the old Parkour. I'm going to try and get around this by dedicating the next 4 months while I'm there purely to exercise and conditioning. The good side of this is that my knees, which a few people know are starting to feel a bit weird, will have plenty of time to heal completely and definately (if there is anything wrong). Hopefully I'll come back from France fitter, stronger and completely fluent in French. This is my target :)

When I finish on the 31st July I'm planning on going to Lisses for a week or two. Sadly, I've come across a problem with this. This coincides with the date of the Trace gathering last year, which I missed because I was on holiday in Malta. I was adamant I was going to go this year, but it looks like there's a chance it won't happen now. The problem is, if its on the 31st again this year, that I won't be able to go because even if I rushed back to the UK I'll miss it, but also noone will be able to go meet me in Lisses because they'll all be at Trace. Guttered! If thats the case though, I'm just gonna have to stomach it and spend a week in Lisses by myself. There's guaranteed to be people there to train with.

Well, thats about it. Just posted this to tell me avid readers, all none of them, thats whats going on. Or if anyone comes across this when I'm gone they know where I am and why they haven't heard from me in the last 2 months or whatever it is at that time.
