I'm back from France! Thought I'd share some of my holiday snaps :).
Unfortunately, the weather only behaved itself for a few days - the rest of the time it was colder than in England, if that's even possible. So my tan leaves something to be desired! However, I was perfectly content to stroll around taking photos of the rustic buildings - who needs sun when you've got a quaint little French town to explore all day?
I also FINALLY managed to read the last Harry Potter! I've been saving it for the right moment for 3 years, haha. I certainly wasn't disappointed!
The photo above was the view from our balcony - there's just something so attractive about hickledypickledy teracotta roof tops on a rainy day, don't you think?
Classic blogger food - macarons in every flavour... even Foie Gras flavour. Needless to say I didn't try one, being a vegetarian.
The house we were staying in had the most incredible gaudy wallpaper plastered all over the walls... and ceilings. I couldn't resist posing in front of the various samples. These photos took so long to get in focus as it was pretty dark inside... we had to be resourceful and make a tripod out of an ironing board, haha. The bottom right photo is testament to the fact that I cannot do that pose.
And finally, I just had to share this with you. On the first night we stayed in Dieppe, in the north of France. We were in a restaurant when I spotted this unusual sight - a thin band of bright gold light just illuminating the houses around the harbour. About 10 minutes later the light had all disappeared :).
I should be back soon!

Love your blog, I've just discovered it.
This pictures are loooovely. I miss France! & I can't believe you've never read Deathly Hallows before! I was one of those people who bought it at midnight & absolutely DEVOURED it within the space of a few hours :) It's still my favourite book ever.
