February has slipped by and here we are only a few days away from the culmination of the LEAP YEAR!

I’m currently hiding out at ESSCA’s Angers Campus, waiting for traffic to die down before attempting the drive home. It’s not horrible, but I’ve found that by waiting a while at school, doing a few extra things that need getting done, I can miss the rush hour and shave 15-20mins off my driving time. Truth be told though… it’s as much the aggravation of the traffic more than the time itself that I’m happy to do away with.

So… while the traffic weaves its way s-l-o-w-l-y through the streets of Angers, let me attempt to get you caught up on the month that was February.

I had to add the word “quiet” to the word “upheaval”, which was the first word to come to my mind when I think back over the week.

France has been in the news and, as is frequently the case when France makes news abroad… it’s because of social upheaval… this time, farmers were the ones blocking traffic circles, highways and city centers.

That being said… there were wonderful quiet moments to be found away from the hullabaloo!
