So Sunday finally comes. The day Sebastien leaves for France. We got up early and kept ourselves busy and before you knew it 11am arrived and it was time to part. I think we were both being brave for each other and I was feeling a lot more teary than I thought. After he left I didn't quite know what to do and wasn't feeling particularly sociable so I popped on a film I knew would be a bit of a crier and bawled my eyes out, ha ha. But I felt much better after. I was keeping an eye on the eye waiting for the text to confirm that he had arrived at Papa's safe and sound.
One of the things that reassured me about Sebastien traveling on his own was that Stephan (Seb's best friend) and I had bought him an early birthday present, a Sat Nav. His birthday is in two weeks and he wanted something to help him get around France and to and from interviews. I have to say that I was a bit dismissive of them, thinking they were for lazy drivers, but after the guy in shop had demonstrated one to us I was a total convert. Seb tested it out going back and forth from work the week before leaving and was very impressed with it and so far in France it seems to have done a good job.
So I left my husband in the good care of a little plastic device gently guiding him around the highways and byways of la belle France. How modern.
