Le blog d'aujourd hui

We had shitloads of unpacking and washing to sort out yesterday, so obviously we spent the day with Ted and Beryl instead. It was nice to try some awful English supermarket wine after having that beautiful pricey French stuff all week.. Beryl was delighted to see us, but Ted has a cold so was in a bit of a mood. He cheered up a bit when I told him we’d seen a German tourist get hit by a motorbike on holiday.

I had to go back to work today, so spent most of my time daydreaming about our time in France. My favourite day was probably the Thursday. We went to the train station and just got on the next train that was due to depart. It took us to a place called Saint-Omer, which was a beautiful little town where everything is cooked in the locally-brewed beer. You can probably buy that beer in your chosen supermarket. We certainly have it in mine. I’ve never even noticed it before, but I’m definitely going to bring a case home with me tomorrow. In fact, by an amazing coincidence, some clumsy oaf on the management team accidentally ripped the packaging on a case this afternoon, so we can’t possibly put it on the shelves for the public to buy…..
