Hello, and welcome to the the Winter edition of Touchdown!  We can't believe how quickly the year goes by and that, once again, December is nearly here.  In London the weather is definitely colder and we're all searching for our wooly coats.  We've been looking for tips and ideas to help you during the winter season and have come up with lots of interesting articles, tips and ideas.

Remember Touchdown is designed for all of our current and prospective au pairs - it is your newsletter and we couldn't write it without you! You must have such wonderful stories and tales to tell and we would love to hear from you.  Send in your letters, email, questions you want answering or any ideas for future articles in Touchdown to touchdown@aupairamerica.co.uk.

Welcome back to our 'old' Touchdown readers and a warm welcome to all of our new readers.  We hope you are enjoying the newsletter.   Feel free to send us your feedback on any of the articles printed.  Until the next issue, have a great few months, sit back, relax and enjoy your newsletter. Take care!
