		<title>A novel approach to the school uniform</title>

		<title>Ageing not strictly neccessary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I wore leopard-print skinny jeans (Top Shop, to die for), leopard-print shoes and scarf. And a white shirt. 
&#8220;You still have the courage to wear leopard print?&#8221; asked a male colleague of a similar age to me. 
&#8220;He thinks I&#8217;m too old to wear leopard-print,&#8221; I told another colleague as he left the room. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let the train take the strain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow we head back to Abu Dhabi. We have had the most wonderful time and have decided that one of the most civilized things in the world is the European rail network.
We have travelled from Zurich to Arosa to Paris to London to Wales back to London then Eurostar (heaven) to Paris then down to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Return to Sainte Cecile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have been home for a week and are getting ready to leave again. I am not quite sure what to think. Part of me wants to sort out the whole house, unpack all the boxes and just never ever leave again and yet part of me thinks &#8216;thank God we don&#8217;t live here any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things I have discovered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was Shakespeare who said that no traveller returns, meaning that when you go away you come back a different person. We are now well into our holiday and I have learned a few things about myself and life in general. 
I have learned that I want to live in a country where the waiters [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three in the morning stress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suppose if you have to be awake at 3am there are worse places to be. I am sitting on a rooftop terrace in Paris with an (albeit limited) view of the Eiffel Tower. Our hotel room is a tiny attic room at the rather oddly named Hotel Wo on the rue de Stockholm close [...]]]></description>

All being well this time tomorrow we will be in the Swiss Alps at the Tschuggen Hotel where we spend four nights (working hard on a travel piece) followed by Paris, London, Abersoch (it&#8217;s in Wales), then home to Sainte Cecile for a week and finally the Savoie to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Newspaper Football</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am having a nice time hanging out with Leo, while the girls are away in Italy visiting Roman ruins and avoiding my aunt.
Hanging out with Leo means not only learning to love the Beautiful Game. It means learning to live, breathe, dream, think and talk football; all the time. 
At the weekend I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Update on the girls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much has happened. The girls went off to Italy to stay with my mother. Then they went to Croatia with my aunt. What happened between then and their week-early return yesterday is a little hazy. But according to my aunt they refused to speak to anyone and spoke only in Swedish to each other, thus [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer is here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I may be accused of writing a spurious blog about the summer just so that I can post this picture of Rafa that a kind-hearted work contact sent me yesterday. 
I deny this accusation. Summer is a very interesting topic and should be written about often, and at great length.
As Henry James said: &#8220;Summer afternoon [...]]]></description>
