My friend Lisa always moans at me when I phone and I have taken longer than 5 days to post a blog spot so this one's for you my friend. I so love talking to you all, it's free to landlines from here and my friend Tracy keeps asking aswell as my mom 'are you really certain it's free' YES to landlines, goes to show how you are all being ripped of by TELKOM.
So it's full summer in August, I have been here a year and I remember last year touching down on the 20th and marvelling how hot it was. Such a shame my folks missed this glorious weather but I am lapping it up. We went to Flumet last week, a grubby village which has a certain charm about it and a lake for bathing. It was heaven.
I kept moving up the hill to get shade, and yes I did swim, prefer the sea though at least the water is moving and you don't have the sense that the warm bits are from someone not making it to the toilet in time. Fun never-the-less. I took my folks here when they were visiting in July and there wasn't a person in sight, it was about 15C though.
I've spent most of my days at our river which is now overcome with tourists so my fav spots are usually taken. Still manage to find a spot in the shade though. Today I bought the kids two little blow up boats, what a hit.
I was telling my Aunt on the weekend that we had a car ralley, she said 'gosh there's always something going on there.' Yes but only in season. In September everyone will go home, all the shops will shut and it will return to just a sleepy village.
The vintage car club charged 3 euros a person to take them round the village. The funds going to Sammy's school. Such a good idea, these are taken from my kitchen window.
And to Lisa, I am off to the UK for a 11 days so no update till then ok, so don't get pissy with me, and to you all who read my blog, much love, miss you all and keep reading my blog. xx
