After the rainy 24 hours it was a welcome relief to see the sun shining today. We made up for it by having an afternoon around the pool recovering from last nights excursions when we met up at the bar with Lisa, Charlotte, Tom and Claire plus a huge Irish contingent and had a really good laugh and consumed a little too much. Heidi’s sudden thirst for red wine at 43 is as unexpected as it is amusing, she used to be such a tea total. I fear for ...
Today has been overcast and periodically damp, the problem with the west coast of France is that it can still be exposed to wet weather steaming in from the Atlantic, and last night must have seen 2-3 inches of rain.Undeterred me and the boys set of for an afternoon body boarding, but as we jumped in to the sea we were greeted with a blast from a siren and a guy waving his hands frantically at us to get out of the sea.

Tomorrow will tell the extent of the damage which hopefully does not have an effect on surfing and swimming etc.We also had some obligatory petty sibling squabbles between George and Harry, but not nearly as petty as the one ...
Day three of our trip has been all action, I woke really early and left the boys in bed sleeping while I went for a long run, as they did not go to bed until late last night. We went to the camp site bar which was actually quite good fun, though I am thinking of getting a t shirt with “Yes I am on holiday alone with my children” written on it.John actually thinks it is quite amusing see the curious looks we get when going out together as two ...
