HIKE

We like to use incorrect French in an ironic way. For example, if someone says, Bonjour! we will say oh, BON ANNIVERSAIRE! pretending that it's fully correct. hahaha its jokes.

Bonjour!


Aujourd Oui!

Come on TOUT APPEL! (works best in a northern accent)

Today we went on a NINE KILOMETER HIKE around Suisse-Normandy. It looks a lot like Cornwall, loads of up and down hill and we walked parallel to a river for a lot of it which was pretty. We went with the American couple who are really cool and inspirational. They are about 28 and are married and have been together ten years but are really happy and sweet, like a model couple and; as I said, are photographers so we've been subject to some really cool shots which I'll upload at some point later.

Yesterday we went to the market again, and bought some fresh strawberries and radishes and sweets and Sam bought his Crepe :D

We have been painting the garden furniture recently which is a welcome break from weeding but made the rookie error of not mixing the first pot of paint ("Gentle Lavender") properly, so the first chairs came out dark purple and the next lot were left with a WHITE coat, so we just used the remaining white to do an undercoat on all the rest of it.

After the hike we stopped at the start point and got a beer and then the cafe man bought us out a plate of LOADS of cheese and a glass of wine each for fifteen euros for four which was really nice. When we got back we were so tired, but had to go accross the road, to our host's friends Geoffe and Lynne who have been here in France for years too, and had drinks with them and their Lithuanian Wwoofer.

Last night we cooked for them, a vegetarian meal of bean chilli stuffed inside a yellow pepper, Sam made a Thai papaya salad for starter and then Paul made marinaded tofu and we picked some purple sprouting broccoli from the garden. (WIN x 10000 for me in terms of feed as i'm pretty cheesed and carbed out)
