Just taking some time out this evening to check in on things. The holiday is a dream so far. The weather really picked up last week and we have been having a wonderful time. My son learned to swin by himself today which was a major excitement.
We have visited Josselin, Quimper and Concarneau (the last today as well) and I have been trying to mentally absorb enough medieval walled town atmosphere to keep me going for the rest of the year.
I have read Cross Stitch (ok, finished reading it anyway) by Diana Gabaldon and Hood by Stephen Lawhead (fantastic, can't wait for book 2, Scarlet - it had the right blend of historical realism and a subperb undercurrent of fantasy, no overt magic, just a sense running through the background), The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper and am currently on Greenwitch, also by Susan Cooper. A quick read these books, (The Dark in one day) but enthralling as they were when I first read them about Twenty-hmmm hmmm years ago.
Hee hee, no writing. I am feeling very bad. Of course it might just be the glass of wine I finished - I'm sitting outside the bar in the campsites wifi zone listening to a manic music quiz going on inside. Better be heading back out, out of Internet land and back to my book. Maybe later I will put pen to paper (eventually). Mainly I just want to continue this wonderful relaxation.
:D
