Another cheapish day

August 18th, 2008 by Sarah

Well, apart from a trip to a big Carrefour supermarket, which never seems to be cheap! Indulged Anna with new bag and some paper, pens etc. for high school – I always used to buy ‘back to school’ stationery in France on my summer holidays when I was a kid too, it somehow seems better, and I always liked having different stuff to everyone else …

Before Carrefour we went and found Rambouillet Castle, which is relatively interesting as it is still in use as a summer residence for the French President and also hosts heads of state on official visits etc. We didn’t go inside, just walked around the gardens and admired it from the outside.

Back at the campsite now, the children have swum again and we’re generally lazing around together :)
Here are a couple of pics of the site: our pitch, and our typical evening activity so far!

    Oh, French stationery is far superior!

    I’m moping about not having had a proper holiday this summer, so I’m enjoying yours by proxy :)
