France with Gill and Keith and Friends - April 2008

|
|
|
Although
you can’t tell yet, this is me arriving by
post at Gill and Keith’s, with my old friends RSJ, Rufus
and Miss Prudence waiting for me.
|
Phew!
Fresh air again. “Hello chaps”. |
|
|
|
|
Of
course there was some catching up to do, and……
|
then RSJ (Ruffles Sidney Junior) took me down to the allotment to show me the
daffodils
|
|
|
|
Hope both of you, Clem and Arthur, have
packed your toothbrushes for your holiday with Auntie Mary. Behave
yourselves for the week! |
Fast forward
to France, where the banks at the sides of the roads are full
of celandine…..
|
|
|
and primroses. |
After
an exhausting day, RSJ organized a nice meal for us bunnies,
(that’s another rabbit friend
of mine, Brambletops), but who is that peering out of the French
(we are in France) windows? |
|
|
Hey,
it’s Fabriqué, shouts RSJ. Come and join us for
tea! Fabriqué is French, so there’s a bit of a
language barrier to overcome. |
Anyway
we all sat around chomping dandelions and discussing what we
were going to do in France. RSJ said that he wanted an “activity
holiday”, so…… |
|
|
We went “off roading” in Keith’s car. (Actually
it wasn’t proper off roading because they are just tracks
across the fields), but RSJ was happy enough. I had a travel
sickness pill when we got home!
|
Then RSJ
said he wanted to do some abseiling. He said sliding down was
OK, but….
|
|
|
it was hard work climbing back up! |
Next day
Keith and Gill took me to a wildlife park for endangered animals,
where I saw flamingos (Do you know why they are soooo pink?
Because they live on a diet of pink prawns. Honest!)…
|
|
|
Also saw some wallabies, some of whom were
carrying youngsters in their pouches, and I saw lots of other
animals too. |
What
do you think of the new pad, eh? Of course, it’s got to
have a loft conversion, but that will come later.
|
|
|
| Back to the cottage, and a final tea party for everyone before
we come back to England. |
Next
day we returned to England, via Calais and “Le Tunnel sous la Manche”,
as they say in France. |
