High and lows of 2024:

In no particular order.

• Moving to Paris.

• La Préfecture.

• Having dinner with Hugh Grant then furiously posting about it in the least cool way possible.

• Writing. On Substack and elsewhere.

• Over priced, low quality, luxury clothing (looking at you Isabelle Marant)

• Hitting 2800 points with my Eurostar account and achieving Carte Blanche status…

• then realising that 1point=1euro which means that I’ve spent 2800 euros on trains between London and Paris in the last 12 months. Which is 233 euros a month. Which is fuck ton of money.

• The marché de Provence in Antibes and the Musée Matisse in Nice.

• Spending the whole of 2024 in Europe and at no point feeling like I hadn’t “seen enough of the world, travelled enough or had an adventure”.

• Discovering the Babyliss hair wrap thingy which cost £30 and has changed my (hair) life.

• Falling in Love with a Parisian.

• Natural wine (yes I’m insufferable).

• Butter with Piment d’espelette.

• Having my heart broken by a Parisian.

• Living alone and digesting the idea that this might be what the rest of my life looks like and feeling ok about that.
