Things I learnt in France

We ended up staying nearly a month in France and I learnt the following:

• My school girl french is as bad a I thought it was, but people were patient and always had a smile when you tried to say something, even if it was nothing to do with what you meant to ask.
• Savage fun means something much tamer in France than the UK, as does Greasy surfers – so tame.
• Motorhomers of a certain age bracket like everything parked straight and preferable on chocks, even if the ground is flat
  • Outfits are always: women wear stripes and the men wear checks
  • It is the woman’s job to direct the reversing of said vehicle, and always whilst standing in the drivers blindspot
• Parrots pick up new words quite quickly and not usually the ones you want
• I love vegetables – meat is a treat but not needed every day, but chocolate definitely is.
• Finally I developed a new branch of yoga called HakiaYoga, this involves combining the world’s best hakas with some lovely Yoga with Adriene and you get a new way to keep others from parking too close to Gurty when you practice your new technique and is a great stressbuster!
