Yesterday we saw a man pretending to be a statue he was really funny.

My favourite food is baguettes and cheese, we usually get the baguettes from a boloungerie but sometimes we get them from supermarkets but the bread tastes better if it’s from a boloungerie. We saw the baguette yesterday being made. First they were tying knots in dough then they stopped it and we saw some men picking up Y shaped baguettes and putting them in the oven and then I spotted one pull out a weird machine and he started putting round dough like balls into it but then we had to go.

You get big Atlantic swell in this part of France, at Houat we got loads of big swell the swell made the boat rock vigorously. It’s fun for us when we are at the beach and it’s breaking on top of us especially if you’ve got a life jacket on ‘cause when the wave crashes on top of you then you’ll shoot up, better hold your breath because you’ll be going inside the wave.

Super sailing in St Quay

Sailing boats are taking part in some awesome racing today. There are eight boats representing different countries, some will be taking part in the 2012 Olympics. Each boat has a team of three ladies on.

Sometimes today they were a bit slow as there was not much wind, they put up their spinnakers to catch the most of the wind and it was really cool watching them go up particularly as they went round the buoys marking the race. They were tipping and tilting and I thought some would go off and crash into the scary rocks which were surrounded by the spooky mists.

We don’t know who won but we did know they all managed to finish the race safely. All the best to them for the Olympics!

St Quay Portrieux

At St Quay Portrieux after lunch we went to a beach it was the sandiesstist beach in the whole wide world and the weather was beautiful it was the sunniest day in the whole year so far.

When we were on the beach we built a castle, big dragon den and dragon whilst we were there we also played rugby and football it was really fun.

(The picture is of the beach in question but on a slightly gloomier day - it is still February after all. Mark.)

Carteret
