... 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 ...

... plus local apple juice waiting for me. Then cooking classes started about 10 each morning and would go through til about 1 or 2 when we would break for lunch and eat one of the dishes we'd made. The about an hour before dinner Id head back to the kitchen to finish off all the dishes fopr the three course dinjner we'd made. Every night there were at least a couple of guests who werent doing the cooking school to cook dinner for, so it was very a very social affair ...

... we reached the Mont. Took a strole round the place, and headed back to the van for dinner before heading back to the Mont for some ice-cream and a drink. Mont St Michell is an incredible place, a real achievement.<br><br>Day 5: Mont St Michel - Carnac.<br>Day 5 had arrived and still no sun, so we headed for the Atlantic coast hoping for a change of fortune. Carnac is a small tourist beach town, and is home to an apparently significant (but utterly under-whelming ...

... I performed a tidy 9 point turn in the road and set off in the other direction, despite knowing it was more prone to small town syndrome with associated 3.5 tonne vehicle paranoia.<br><br>I hate these situations in this RV as its harder and drinks loads more diesel.<br>We aimed for an "Aire" on the beach but after finding four of the nine spaces occupied by cars, we aborted and drove on to Fouras.<br>This was a further 9km and had 20 full spaces ...

... far to much time outside the headmasters office at school for messing about in French lessons, (sorry mum) the stuff I do have is being incredibly stubborn and won't come out (I put some of my stupidness down to my cold today) plus lack of confidence. However a trip to the pharmacy helped, with a bit of preparation from my little French book I managed to ask for cold medication, all in French I might add ...

... off the end so it was square, and then proceeded to fold the paper into the shape of a diamond. He then tapped the woman on his right, held the diamond up to his mouth and blew in the end of it, and - whoosh! - it inflated like a balloon, two pointy bits sticking up on each side like rabbit ears. They laughed together silently, all the while, the rest of the table continued flinging ...

... us started, no doubt). We have started reading 2 now, one for Litterature Comparée, which is 'Salammbo' by Flaubert, and one for Litterature Francaise, which is 'Armance' by Stendhal. 'Armance' is brilliant and I am loving it. 'Salammbo' I have not managed to love as yet. maybe later... And Amy, one of the other Novacastrians, is in all my same classes, so she is reading them too. And I am really pleased actually, because ...

... minisupermarket standing in the middle of literally nowhere and often where the bathroom were just short of being in the open air with doors never reaching ceiling or floor; this meant of course that a whole lifetime of cowardice about cold temperature had to change as I quickly got accustomed to take showers at some unearthly (well for me it was ! ) low temperature (4° on my car thermometer), not forgetting that May edges towards their winter. Armed ...
