Samedi le 4 octobre

REMINDER: CLick on photo for it to enlarge!




Well children awake and bouncing around at 4:30 am!! Told to get back to sleep…. Seph did but Hermione read until 8:00 then got up!
Had breakfast and then walked into town. On the way a phone call from the Laings and Woods, partying again and getting in the spa!! Very jealous!
The town itself is little streets, old buildings and loads of character. Nev likened it to Hogwarts! At some places he was sure we were in diagon alley.
This weekend was music in the streets – heaps of bands performing all over the town – probably 30 different locations and 50+ bands. Everywhere you walked you came upon more music. Many of the bands were dressed in costumes/ outfits that were eyecatching. It was great to see so many young people involved in the groups and heaps of people from all ages enjoying the performances. The timetable went from 11am until 3am with bands performing many times at different locations and then in the evening 2 main performance areas.
We walked around for hours – had crepes for lunch. Chocolate ones of course! The French are chocolate mad, chocolate bread, rolls, croissants, pastries. Also mad for Nutella! They even have nutella crepes, nutella ice cream and nutella paninis!

Kids really tired so home for bed and tea.
