Sun is shining, weather is sweet!
Yup I haven't written an entry since March! Reasons being the sun is shining, and I've been out and about, trying to get out of the broken heart syndrome. So what have I been up to? Well, I've taken the pixs, so you can sneak a peek. I'll feature an activity each day (cause I've really accumulated a lot of photos). The most Important thing though is that I went home to Antigua! I really needed that trip - and I've returned to the UK, and more specifically Essex, rejuvenated and gearing to go, until my next trip home later in the year!
And so to France (said in a French acccent :)
In a very spur-of-the-moment manner, I decided I was going to hitch a ride on a coach heading to a seaside town in France for the day. I spent the day browsing the town, brushing up on my french, enjoying a lovely meal with some excellent french wine, and getting some delicious french desserts, and bread.
By the way: Have you ever tried asking a french person a question in half english mixed with the half french, you learned in school, only to have them reply in full-blown french! Lets just say, I spent the day saying "Oui, Oui", smiling and nodding my head, and of course being extremely polite with a "Pardonnez-moi" . I had loads of fun, doing this though, mind you, :) and, pretty soon with lots of pointing, broken french, and long replies back in french, the french was slowly coming back to me. My high school teacher would have been proud!
Then before you knew it the words "allons-y" were heard, and we were on the ferry heading back to Dover. Really good day, the sun was in its glee, the company was great and I couldn't ask for more. C'est bon day! ;)
