This year I
went to Brittany in the North of France with my boyfriend and my sisters
family. I got the ferry from Plymouth to Roscoff with Alex which was great fun
as we were mega excited! As I've moved from Ireland to London I was excited to go
and spend some time with my sister and her husband and especially my niece, she
is SO cute (and turns out she’s great for ordering our food in French)! I've only been to France once before I went to Paris with my Dad and my sisters when I was about eleven so back then my main
objective then was to meet Mary Poppins in Disneyland, which I did! ;)
It was great
to go back (as an adult!) and experience the countryside. It was definitely one
of the nicest places I've been to! We spent most of our time eating
amazing crepes, and drinking lots of local drinks...That's what you're
meant to do on holidays right?
My sister's house
is right by the sea so we went there every day for a swim to shake of the
previous nights drinks and just generally made me feel really nice and fresh.
The whole place was so lovely! The villages were nice and quaint with little
coffee shops and creperies not to mention the smell from bakeries which were
really difficult to pass, so I didn’t! It was actually nice to go somewhere a
little out of my ‘comfort zone’, where everyone speaks a different language and
where the culture is so wonderfully different, it really was great! My
sister's husband is French so we got to meet his family and try out our very,
very limited French. Luckily, they were a lot better at English than we were at French so we managed
just fine!
I had mega
post holiday blues when I got back to England! I really want to go
back next year!
