RACHEL KOLISI ON WEEK ONE IN PARIS
Siya Kolisi’s wife Rachel shared an inside look at her family’s life since their move to Paris just over a week ago. She and their two kids – Nicholas (8) and Keziah (6), took a trip from Paris to London to watch the Springboks play against the All Blacks on Friday 25 August. She also revealed that her kids are preparing to start school, she is learning French and more. Take a look…
“It’s been 1 week since our move. We were really fortunate to go to London last week and see Siya, watch the game and host our first ever @kolisi_foundation UK fundraiser,” she began.
“This week will be our first week staying in Paris while we prepare for school, Nic will be going into “year 4” grade 4 and Kez “year 1” / grade 1. I had to drive Nic to the doctor in the city today (pretty much everything is closed on a Sunday). Feeling a bit more confident behind the wheel but still take plenty of wrong turns 🙃. I did a grocery shop yesterday, I already hate shopping but shopping when everything is in a different language is a whole other level of exhausting! I’ve started doing some French lessons on a app @duolingo until we’re a little more settled and I can figure out actual classes,” she continued.
“It’s also Nics birthday on Sunday so trying to think of a nice way to celebrate considering he hasn’t made friends here yet. Considering a Disney trip 😅. The other morning I woke up feeling super sad and a bit scared, it kind of comes in waves, it’s the same for the kids, but we try remind each other of all there is to look forward to, and being busy does help – I think,” she added.
