It took a lot of will power to get here but I have arrived on British soil! The ferry crossing from France was rough to put it gently. The waves were huge and the big ship was a rocking the whole way. I was trying to watch a movie to distract myself but itjust made it worse. I have never been more happy to be on ground and it was England to boot! Yeah!
My last night in France was one of the best of the past few months. I stayed in an absolutely delightful B&B "Au Bon Accueil" run by a great English couple. I had a very restful night's sleep helped along by the evening I spent in the local pub "The Oystercatcher". It was so great to sit at the bar, drinking some wine, and talking to the Englishmen in the pub. I felt totally relaxed and I needed it after the stress I had put on myself preparing for the trip over to England. So overall, if I had to recommend one place to go in France it would be Mont St Michel, staying at the B&B and spending your evenings at the local pub. So great!
But I will get back on track - I have arrived in England and am staying with a lovely couple I met on my Egypt tour, Laurie and Lucy. They live outside Brighton in a great little town. Today we spent the day along the coast. We walked along the chalk cliffs in almost gale force winds which was so thrilling! I have had a great day and already loving the food. Yes, I love English food. I had Cream tea which is tea along with scones and jam and heavy cream and cake. So yummy! And now I am about to have Bangers and Mash which smells great and I know I will love it! But it is ready so I have to go but I will post again later!
Love, Lisa
