Actually, maybe I don’t!

August 13th, 2008 by Sarah

The internet is here one minute and not the next. Well, it’s here at 7am and once everyone has woken up on the campsite, there’s no chance of much of the net actually reaching my computer! Thankfully I like early mornings :)

Had a nice day yesterday, which started with breakfast from the snack cabin (mmmm fresh croissants) and after that Steve & Josiah went off to play crazy golf. Thought that as Steve had promised to play with him we might as well get it out of the way otherwise Joe would have been going on about it all day!

After that we all got a picnic ready and went out to do a little bit of ‘La Loire a velo’, only just enough of a cycle ride to satisfy Roger’s cycling needs but plenty for the rest of us! A 6km ride down the Loire from the campsite, then we stopped and had lunch; the kids paddled, etc. A bit windy but no rain :) Photos may or may not appear on flickr depending on my patience levels, it really is not a high speed connection even at 7am.

Back at the campsite we relaxed a bit more – the rest of the children (and Joe again) had a round of crazy golf with Roger, Steve and I went to the supermarket, we read, they swam, they showered, we cooked a delicious turkey & lentil curry, then we pretty much all had an early night. The kids were all tired and we’re off to Puy du Fou today so we wanted them to sleep well!

    We were able to get internet in the tent in Northumberland which was good. Then it would suddenly disappear and frustratingly not let me log back in. In the end I decided it wasn’t that much of a blessing!

    Marcus had wanted it in order to watch the Tour de France stages. Might avoid going on holiday in Tour de France season next year.

    All sounds good there. Rain, rain, stay away . . .

    Sounds like you are connected to the same internet server as we are at work – has a mind of it’s own and a french attitude to urgency – a demain..c’est un petit problem!!

    Marcus, you’ll have to put your foot down next year. Paris for stage 21, that’s the plan you want.
