VH and I are in Brittany again, for a short break. Outside in the garden, the stars can be seen shining brightly at night; if you look carefully you can see lizards; and if you listen, you can hear birds singing. It is enjoyable to sit in the garden, close your eyes, and listen to the birdsong. I was doing this when I heard the sound of... an elephant? Surely not, in rural France? As we drove to the supermarché later, we passed the origin of the noise: a travelling circus, with camels, llamas and donkeys tied up on a field. Quite a strange sight, one which you wouldn't see in England.Another common sound here is the sound of VH's constant cough, caught from school. It doesn't stop, and now I have a very sore throat myself. So it isn't quite the relaxing holiday I had hoped for, but enjoyable to be with my family and little black friend nevertheless.
I am jealous! I want to go to a circus in rural france...
ReplyDeleteOr join them. Not sure which.
It must be lovely to be with your mum and dad -and Sky of course. It must be much warmer where your mum is - we don't get lizards here.
ReplyDeleteI used to grumble a bit when I saw these travelling circuses but I must say that the animals all look quite healthy.
Have a good time
Muppet Soul - I love your name! Joining a travelling French circus would be quite something, but I'm not sure I'd want to live in one of their caravans.
ReplyDeleteFrench Fancy - I'm surprised you don't get lizards where you live, I didn't realise Brittany was so diverse. And yes, it's great being with Sky and my parents. I came home yesterday, and long to be in France again.
Minus the cough, your break sounds like a dream! I'm an American living in Berlin. It's hard to get to the country from here. Elephants? I guess I'm more likely to run into them than in the country. How weird!
