Foreign Perspectives

The blog has achieved an unexpected level of popularity this year starting with it being featured all day on France24 the day following Chirac’s resignation speech and latterly being taken up by Reuters.

Thanks to our discovery of sponsored posts, we’ve branched out with a few new blogs during the year. Wendy’s now writing both Cultured Views and Mum’s Finance whilst I’ve added An Age of Magic and On a Postcard. Oh, and we have three family history blogs in the stable now for the Douglas, Hamilton and Stewart sides of our families which Wendy is actively researching these days.

On other fronts, the steady expansion of the listings sites continues apace with Inns4U being the latest addition to the stable and the first which includes both B&B and self-catering properties. In a related development we’ve been working on Whole Earth Guide which is our first travel guide site and which’ll be used by the listings site as their main guide to the various regions.

Somehow in all this I managed to pass the final exams for the Spanish segment of my modern languages degree and find myself with only one course to complete the degree.

Meanwhile James has managed to go through about a year and a half at a French school without uttering a single phase in French. That’ll complicate our lives somewhat this coming September as the new school won’t take non-French speakers.
