Bel-Air

While Dan was sunning himself on the Yorkshire Moors, Amy and I were in France enjoying a relaxing holiday at Bel-Air with mum and dad. What we expected to be a 10 day holiday turned into a two week trip due to French strikes. It was great! In those four days I managed to read more books than I have managed to all year so I really cannot complain. We had a lovely time enjoying realxing in the garden, running round the lanes with dad, going to the beaches and castles and just soaking up the atmosphere. When we got home I really noticed the noise of the city. So much has changed at Bel-Air since Dan and I were there over two years ago. For starters the place has got electricity, so no more need for candles. There are stairs where the ladder used to be. The kitchen is fully kitted out complete with dishwasher! Luxury. These are just a few of the changes. Dad has done an absolutely excellent job, I just wonder what he's going to do when the place is absolutely spotless?! Anyway, take a look at our photos to see what we got up to:
