Description

about this site

petite anglaise started on a whim one day, after reading the guardian’s guide to weblogs and dipping into Belle de Jour. Five minutes later, a site was in place on blogger. I came across the union jack eye image quite by accident, but it summed up my perspective nicely: a Brit’s-eye view of life in Paris.

anglaise means, quite simply, English female, and petite means little. French people tend to refer to all English females, regardless of age or size, as petites anglaises so it seemed like the obvious choice for my nom de souris.

petite anglaise started out mainly as light hearted commentaries on aspects of life in France/French, with some anecdotes about the trials and tribulations of raising a bilingual toddler thrown in. It has evolved somewhat over time, becoming more personal, touching on my adoption, my relationship with my biological parents and, later, the breakdown of my relationship with Tadpole’s father and my subsequent relationship with a man I “met” in my comments box.
