My French Holiday
Saturday, August 10, 2013
Hello everyone how are you all? I hope you are well and
loving the summer time weather (or winter weather, whatever it is for you this
time of year)
I have a little confession to make I have recently found
myself having a major procrastination issue. I have found that while I have
many potential post ideas the minuet I sit down to write something, nothing
comes out it is rather annoying.
I didn't
even really acknowledge that it was happening until I read a post by Ashley
from Modernette.ca about How to deal with a blogger burnout. This made me take
note and decide it was time to make an effort to stop over thinking posts and
get back to what I love to do, which is writing.
Today’s post is all about my holiday which I took this summer
(it was in June/July …. no off course I didn't take this long to blog about it
:D).
This holiday my family and I took a lovely trip down to the
south of France. We were extremely lucky with the weather and it was even luckier
that we brought all of the necessary sun cream with us because it is very
important to look after your skin while in the sun (she says while trying to
not sound like a preacher).
As you can see from the picture we all thought it was a great
idea to not co-ordinate our sun cream packing and as a result ended with a
bazzilion bottles of the stuff in a range of factors.
Now as a family we regularly go to the same place on holiday,
as a result of this we know the great places to go visit and where to eat. For my
family no holiday is complete without a tapas lunch at the beach and the place
that we go to has so much character that you can’t not love it, not to mention
that the food is great.
One place that we have never really explored much is the
beach, this is due to the fact that we have a pool and when it is super-duper
hot you just want to stay in the cold water nearly 24/7. Also there is the fact
that my dad doesn't like the beach, this might be a result of living by the
seaside when he was younger and having to eat sandy sandwiches every time he
went. What can I say everyone has some childhood demons for my dad it is the
beach. But I am proud to say that after 11 years of coming on holiday to this
location we finally managed to not only get my dad to go to the beach but he actually
go in the sea too … major achievement.
In this part of the world there is an fascinating sight
which amazes me every time that I see it. What is this wonder I hear you ask,
well it is a pink lake. The real name for it is a salt lake, now these turn
pink due to the high concentration of salt within them. In turn these lakes
attract such diverse wildlife including flamingos, yes you hear me right
flamingos in France.
What I love about the French culture is that when you go out
for dinner in the evening the streets are still so alive with music and laughter
there is just so much going on all at once. This makes it a wonderful
environment to go to on holiday as it is the complete opposite to back home in England.
I had such a good
time relaxing with my family as essentially that is what my family holidays
are, a time for us to relax away from the hustle and bustle of out real lives,
a time for us to recharge our batteries and to get ready for the next
adventure.
I have saved my favourite
pictures for last I hope that you like them and that you too have or are going
to have an amazing holiday
