2006 - WHAT A YEAR

How do I even start to try to summarise this year. 2006 has to be one of the busiest I have ever lived through ... How do you measure the year past the days, weeks and months?

• Number of times its been Day #1 of a diet regime?
• Number of hours spent in airport waiting rooms?
• Number of hours spent on the internet speaking with friends worldwide?
• Number of shows seen on the West End?
• Number of students taught over the year?
• Number of mistakes made when communicating in French?
• Number of croissants, pain au chocolats, kilos of cheese eaten in France?
• Number of hugs from Harry or infact, number of his hairs removed from clothes?
• Number of friends who came to visit me in France throughout the year?
• Number of Trains caughts?
• Number of buses and coaches travelled on?
• Number of times turbulance and sea levels have made me vomit?
  
• Number of new friends I have made?
