Cassis

Gosh, once again it has been a while since my last update... where to start... I spent the morning at home on Saturday and then headed into town for some shopping. I bought some proper food and managed to get the oven working this week (the last people had turned the gas off!) so I’ve moved on from various local cheeses and vin rose for dinner each night!

Sunday was an excursion with the school to Cassis - lovely. We stopped at another couple of little towns and beaches as well. The beaches are incredible, maybe 50 metres long, stones (no sand) and about a hundred people!! I had a swim (of course) and the water was actually pretty fresh! absolutely sparkling clear and gorgeous as well. lovely! Interestingly on the beaches in France the “boobs out” option is completely fine and women wander about happily with no tops on. Not for me - all a bit confronting for this little innocent from the land of Oz!

It was a boiling hot day so I spent the afternoon in Cassis in a cafe with an Italian, a Swiss and a glass of cider!! Finishing the afternoon with a delicious gelati! Gotta love summer!!
