France

Week 3

We agreed to meet our friends Emma and Andrew in france. We thought they are in France, we are in France, good idea. What we didn't realise at the time is that France is a big place. We were in Britanny and they in the south-east next to the spanish border. It couldn't be further apart.

Anyway we did it. It took us two days to get there. We had a lovely time, they have this nice small family house in a little village, very pitoresque. We drank some wine, walked throught the village and spent some time on the beach and drank some wine. Nice.

On the way back we dropped by a school friend of Hazels just north of Paris. They seem to enjoy the French life. A small village, yet close to Paris, ideal.

Now (12 Aug) we are squatting in the home of Emma and Andrew in The Hague. A nice arrangement, we take care of the cat and in return we can stay here. We feel remarkably at home in The Hague. Did a lot of shopping and eating Dutch things including the obligatory fish at Simonis and sausage at Hema.
