Hardly the BBC Breakfast sofa…


Although the layout of the interview did slightly resemble the BBC Breakfast studio, the reality was far from that. Accompanied by a 13-year-old work experience student, the journalist from the local paper got his pad out and we started the brief, awkward, but enjoyable interview. Quite why the local paper wanted to interview me was a mystery, nonetheless I was glad to oblige. It didn’t get off to the best of starts, when I failed to recognise that his work experience student was actually one of my students. Awkward. He quizzed me on my first impressions of the region and how I was settling into the French lifestyle, and we passed half an hour or so, until he decided that he had got what he came for. Who knows how I will be portrayed to the locals, at least I mentioned that I had been to see the local rugby team play, sure to gain a few friends.
