Trying to get back into the swing of things for blogging but the jobs list IRL is so large now even for a multi-tasker like me it makes me want to run and bury my head in the duvet. We have three birthdays in three weeks, secondary school applications, photoshoot editing and not forgetting starting school for one of mine and then you know…work!
Im not sure that i will make it every week back to the blog. I have been thinking a lot about why i do blog and what i want to get out of it…but thats another post..
for now…some French fun.
I have been having a bit of an issue with accessing my holiday images. Just a different camera that my software doesn’t recognise (i think) and so I have gone through a little bit of a long winded route to get some images together for country kids this week.
We were camping in France, you can’t really get more Country than that. We had gorgeous weather, which makes camping bearable but not desirable in my opinion 😉 So we did a lot of out outdoor fun activities. Generally when the weather was really hot we went to the beach and the pool. On the few days when it was overcast we decided on something like a bike ride or in this case we drove to an inland lake and hired a little battery powered boat.
Our son was very excited about the fact that he could drive a boat. I think he had more of a David Beckham at the opening ceremony of the olympics kind of idea in his head. When in actual fact what he got was a sort of stairmaster speed boat which putt-putted off into the distance for an hour or so.
I stayed on the shore with our little one who had fallen asleep in the car and so we watched them return once she had woken up and i think she was a tad offended that she hadn’t been included! I think the initial excitement may have worn off quite quickly and one of my girls mused out loud that it had taken a really long time to get anywhere!
The little lake area had a small beach area and a climbing frame which the kids made good use of. Then it was off to some crazy golf. A very British way to spend the afternoon!
You’re children are all so gorgeous Sarah – but then you already know that! We have booked to go to Eurocamp next year and it’s a bit of a radical departure for us to be camping instead of staying in a house.
I love how children just say it like it is “it took a long time to get anywhere” I do love France and it sounds like you all had a lovely time x

It looks like the children enjoyed their trip on the little boat! As much as our children would love it I can not bring myself to camp, so well done. Thanks for sharing your holiday adventure with Country Kids.

oh wow! We have yet to experience a boat trip but the girls are desperate. Think it might have to wait until next summer now!

It looks like you had a lovely time. My to do list is huge too, and I have to go to sixth form and secondary school open days too, it’s hard to keep up!
At least you can spot more on the water at that speed. No chance of seeing Ratty when going fast. And crazy golf to finish it off. I bet they all slept well that night. #CountryKids

Sounds like you had a wonderful time. I love the image in my mind of the putt putt boat and it taking a reeeeally long time! Glad you had a lovely holiday xx
