Jacqui

Jacqui arrived one day, carting a heavy suitcase, wearing gold sandals and the biggest black sun hat I've ever seen! This girl had never slept in a tent in her life and hated bugs but.................she was great. She decided to be brave and during her entire stay she slept on her own (apart from the bugs as company!) in the belltent. She worked incredibly hard in the field and the house. She reorganised the lab, my office, my computer, my market record book etc. etc. Her warm intelligent company was appreciatedby all, we were very sorry to see her leave, she threw away her trainers that had by then completely fallen apart and she boarded the TGV for Paris wearing her gold sandals held together with bailer twine. As Jacquie was going to be studying in Paris for six months we met back up in November when we were there for our annual farmers market. She very kindly housed Paul me and Cole in her lovely little Paris house. Was great to see her although she studied day and night and we cooked beignets all day and were too knackered to do much else but eat vietnamese food every night and crash.
Thank you Jacqui for everything and I know we will meet again.
