Another beautiful day of cycling. Not quite sure what I’ll do when the weather changes, I’ve been so spoiled with beautifully sunny days each and every day.

Cycled through quite a few ‘petit cite du character’ today. Tiny little villages with fabulous old churches or other buildings. Narrow streets with what seems...

Ok so I'm getting a bit behind in my blogs as I've arrived at my uni now and want to write about that. I am having a really good time and re-living being a fresher, which is kind of funny! I also have my laptop set up now - yay! So as a simple solution I'm going to tell you about the food I cooked by posting some photos of it. I didn't photograp...

Hello!

A rather culinary themed entry today as I've just spent a week at Tomlins, which was a vegetarian cookery school in France. It is out in the french countryside, about half an hour from La Rochelle. La Rochelle is a largish town on the seaside and very very pretty. White sandstone buildings, towers, an old cathedrale, lots of tiny s...

This was
another disaster journey really. We started late after an extended chat with a couple from Ireland and set off under the command of TomTom taking a left out of the car park to our destination 40km away.
After two hundred metres TomTom found its feet and continued its reboot problem and we had resort to using GoogleMapping again. A...

I love France, if the Australians wont keep us I will be learning French and buying a stripy jumper and beret for sure. Stereotypes aside it really is everything we hoped, the laid back life style, good food, nice weather its all here. We have had a few short trips in France, I have also been to Paris but provincial France at a slow place has to...

I never did meet my roomies in Nantes, they were in bed when I went up and still in bed when I left in the morning. I had some concerns about breakfast before I got there having read online some reviews of other users, but it was more than adequate, nice warm, fresh bread, orange juice, jam, cereal and all in plentiful supply. I suspect the onli...

Yesterday I went to speak with Mr. D. about on of my courses, just to find out what is actually going on. I wasn't actually that brave voluntarily - I emailed him first (as my written French is much better than my spoken) and he replied by saying "come and see me on Tuesday". Bother. So, in I went. My word, now wasn't that wild! How embarrassing...

I have had two amazing weekends in a row. I have already tried to tell you about one, but my internet crashed and I lost everything I had written, and ever since then, when I sit down to rewrite it... I just don't feel like it. I've already written it all down and gotten it out of my system... But if I am to actually let you know about it, I am ...

Et je suis ici, en France, à La Rochelle. Bonjour. Je m'appelle Gemma et je parle le français. Sort of. I left home (Debs') at 6:40 this morning - to avoid any horrible traffic situation on the M25 or M23 etc. We arrived nice and early at Gatwick airport, around 7:30am - it was either leave early & arrive early, or leave at a normal time and...
