WHAT A FAB DAY!!!

What a day. it was so much fun. At about 11:00 this morning we went to 'Bretignolles-Sur-Mer' (The sea). we couldnt have asked for a better day, hardly any clouds, but it could have been about 5 degrees warmer. it wasnt too bad though. It was about an hours drive. Noels parents own heaps of houses, and one of them is located rite on the beach where we were today. they use that house in the holidays, so no-one was there. we used that as our 'base camp' for the day. it is only 100m walk from the beach. (below is a pic from the backyard) firstly we had a nice lunch and headed off to the beach. before we went on the actual beach, we sat in a nice little beach cafe and had a hot chocolate and coffee. Then we went on the beach and played some fun games like frisbee, soccer, and bowls (its not actually bowls, you throw the ball but the aim is the same : to get closest to the little ball) its such a fun game though. then we got out the kite, and i had a good go at that. that was the first time i had actually had a go at flying a kite. it was heaps of fun. then we went back to the house to pack everything up and put it in the car and we went back down the the beach cafe and had the best crepes ever. i looked at the menu, and there were 2 whole pages of different types of crepes. they were so YUM!!!! loads of nutella, creme, sprinkles, and a flower thing. mmmmmmmmm. by then it was about 6:00 so we headed home. we went on the tourist route through all sorts of small old villages. its amazing to see that pretty much all the towns have historic buildings, and they all have massive churches with tall spires (i think thats what they are called). at about 8:00 we arrived home and had a nice dinner, and watched a movie all snuggled up under the blankets. i think we mite start using the wood fire soon. i also have a heater in my room, yay! nice and cosy!
I'm rechecking my timetable a few times tonight to make sure i start school at the rite time and dont miss any more classes!!! ive got an 8:00 start in the morning. i hate them because its so cold at 7:00 in the morning. 5 degrees. i also have sport, so im outside. and i know running is meant to make you warm, but it doesnt help at all!
