I have been remiss with updates and I am sorry and shall try to do
better. I have decided I should at least blog what happens on my
weekends as that is when most of my adventures seem to happen.
So, I shall rewind a week and take you back to last Friday. B came
home early so after I picked the children up from school and
dropped them at home I left early for Paris where I was going
to stay with I for the weekend. However, I was two or three
hours earlier than I had planned to be so noone was home
after wandering for awhile I decided to sit in a brasserie and
have some dinner whilst looking out on the street of paris in
front of me. I then went to I's and she was going to the beach
in Belgium the next day. So we arose at six the next morning
and I prepared some food to take and then S arrived to drive
us to Belgium. After a bumpy beginning with the car not
starting for awhile we were soon on the way and me having no
idea of travel times and distances assumed we would eb there
in an hour or two. 3 1/2 hours later found us arriving in Le
Panne Belgium. It is a little beach town that is very charming
and we sat at a cafe over looking the beach and had a drink in
the sunshine enjoying the delightful beach air and beautiful weather.
Afterwards I and S did some shopping and then we went to Dunkerque for some more shopping and dinner on the beach. I know you might find this hard to believe but I didn't buy a thing all day except food and drink, perhaps I'm learning afterall.
After this we went near Calais to a friend of I's house before heading home to Paris. The next day on the Sunday I met L,G,K and M for a nice girly lunch at a beautiful restaurant in the fourteenth then we headed back to L's place for tea before I headed home to Chantilly weary but happy from a surprising weekend.
ps: I didn't mean to hyperlink the beginning text and now can not get rid of it so please forgive the weirdness.
