... means lunchtime and everyone emerges! Every town has it&#8217;s own clock tower which regularly doles out the hours (and ¼, ½, and ¾ hours) of the day. <br><br>Today we stopped in a beautiful little park outside the clock tower for lunch and were lucky enough to be there for the noon time treat. Not just 12 bells, there was about 10 minutes of different songs and other tunes being played out. We sat and ...

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 ...

... and I would bring in the courses and then Id sit and eat too, David would join us occasionally or otherwise do the washing up. One definite benefit of doing a cooking school over noemal cooking is someone else does the washing up!<br><br>During the break in the middle of the day I'd read outside in the shade (such beautiful weathr whilst I was there), go for walks in the french countryside and pick some blackberries or get a lift into La Rochelle or Surgeres to ...

... heat and a stiff Atlantic breeze, and you can imagine why. It was un-escapable! The island is geared up for bikes tho, so we got our first proper chance to use the bikes. We cycled to the main town on the island for some ice-cream, then headed back to watch the sun set on the beach. This was more like it!<br><br><br> <br>Day 7: L'Epine - La Rochelle.<br>L'Epine had turned out to be a bit of a let down, and the smell was giving us the boak, so we decided to ...

This was<br>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.<br>After two hundred metres TomTom found its feet and continued its reboot problem and we had resort to using GoogleMapping again. As GoogleMaps does not re-route we had to follow its directions to the letter.<br>Dutifully, and as ...

... lunch at home! Heading out to get groceries was much less mundane than it really sounds when you're moving through ancient archways and walking on the ancient remains of a castle. Yeah. Just your everyday grocery trip =P Sunset in the middle of a marina is unbelivable... and the sun makes it so WARM! I've been in 14 degree warmth! It's amazing!!! Much better than the -2 - 2 i was getting used to! Christmas eve we walked in to town to see the Christmas markets - most ...

... in the right mood to recount that far back. Allow me instead to share with you today's doings. It was my day off today, my lovely free Wednesdays. In the morning I actually did my washing! (the washing machine has been broken). Lovely! Now I have all my darks clean, but they're still damp =( I also settled myself into the common room and knuckled down to some hard-core homework. Well, not ...

... out. But Amy, ever oozing class and sophistication, showed us the proper way to experience sitting atop a french medieval tower... Reading a french book, with the medieval town behind you. I didn't really want to leave. I would have loved to stay there; I would have loved for it to be my balcony. Imagine sitting up there, reading for hours, looking down over a little piece of France ...

... actually too full to eat it at the time, so brought i back and put it in the freezer. I have just gotten it out to eat it and am thinking that maybe the freezer isn't actually very good at freezing... Mmm, sloshy ice cream). We then came back home, happy, happy, but severely lacking in the papier de toilette department. So I have taken my little packet of tissues out of my hand bag and cut each one in half. There were only 4 tissue left ...
