We've arrived at the villa in the south of France, hooray! It's got so much character - it's absolutely gorgeous (will show photos some time soon) - but we had a bit of a bad journey getting here...
Our flight landed successfully, if a little bumpily/turbulancily (new words) on time late this morning, then after quite a long wait for the hire car we were finally on the road. But, whilst my mum was grappling with the complicated gears and steering, as well as having to drive on the opposite side of the road to usual, we realised that we'd left our good south of France map at home... So a very sensitive SatNav (we've christened her Christine) was teamed up with a not-so-good map from a petrol station and soon enough, we were fully on our way.
Or were we?
Without having to go into too many details of all of our woes along the way, a journey which my dad had predicted to be about 3 hours long ended up taking 7 1/2 hours. 7 1/2. 7 1/2.
Just let that sink in...
Therefore, my accomplishments today include having eaten almost a whole (large) packet of Tangfastics by myself, watching the entirety of Mean Girls (again), and finishing Jane Eyre (genuine accomplishment for once woop!!) and enjoying myself far too much when having an amazing, makeshift midnight supper of tea and pizza just after we'd arrived here, in the dark.
Even though this journey wasn't quite as smooth as hoped - due mainly to Saturday evening traffic and us getting frequently confused and lost... Oh, and some "marital debates" as I call them, between my parents, due to one favouring the good old art of map-reading, and the other being slightly more accepting of technology. Parents, eh?!
Thanks very much for reading,
The very (tired but) happy blogger 😴🇫🇷🌞
