Yesterday, I ran away to the sea again. If this continues, I will have to rename this blog from “Lucie’s London” to “Lucie’s Many Attempts to Escape from London”. The weather was lovely; we sailed from Portsmouth to Cowes on the Isle of Wight and back. Our yacht club has some new members this year, and they are all a good bunch.
Among other news, last week I was offered a job in the south of France and now I’m standing in front of a big dilemma: to move or not to move. I’ve written down the list of pro’s (good weather, beaches, mountains, good food, cheaper rent) and the list of con’s (lack of city life, the hassle of moving all my stuff to France, plus I don’t speak French …), but it hasn’t brought me any closer to a decision. I wish I could split myself into two halves: half of me would stay in London, half of me would move to France.
The old, well-known quote by Mark Twain comes to mind: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Maybe I should go???

Hi Lucie,
Have you taken the job? I would love to read "Lucie's in the South of France"!!!

I have to disappoint you, Hung. I didn't take it! I took a job in London instead. Let's see if I will start regretting it round about February-time when it's all cold and miserable and the good feeling after Christmas has worn off ...
So ... Lucie's London continues!!!
