HIER, TOUS MES ENNUIS SEMBLAIENT SI LOIN*...








Yesterday, three friends and I went out for lunch in France and I Instagrammed our day for your pleasure (and mine). We drove to Wimereaux, fifteen minutes on the motorway from Calais, (if you're in a rush to make it for lunch as we were) to a hotel that had a (camera shy) resident cat manning the reception. At the restaurant there we ordered (from a human) a carafe of rosé, fish soup, beef tartare and the biggest bowl of the best frites I've ever tasted. Then we walked round the corner to the beach, paddled a bit and lay in the sun for an hour or so until we got too hot; then stocked up on French pharmacie essentials, brebis yoghurt and paté. The only downside was having to get back on the train to England.

  2. It seems to have been such a lovely day, you're quite lucky to be able to go have lunch in France and be back home by night. Also, I can assure you Google translate did a great job!
