Mardi Deux Julliet
Today we went to an extremely big market & didn’t buy much, but after all our hard walking we got rewarded with some lunch.
.

Mercredi Trois Julliet

We went to watch the Tour de France to cheer Cavendish on.  It was really quite scary because the cameras were on us and I did Gangang style.  We had a massive lunch including the things we caught from ‘La Caravane’.  After we watched the Tour de France we went to meet my Granny and Grandpa in Cavaillion.

Jeudi Quatre Julliet

Today we cycled into Cavaillion town.  It was really hard and when I got there I was tired out as I was the only child cycling.  Soon after that we et up with Granny & Grandpa and Grandpa bought us a drink – I had coca-cola.

Vendredi Cinq Julliet

Today was Tynwald Day and we drove to a parking space and had lunch.  I climbed a tree and pretended to be a monkey.  After that we went to an ancient village called Bories.  All the houses were made of stone and they were not much bigger than me.  Not long after that we went to Rouisillion and the Ochre mines.

Samedi Six Julliet

Today we had all day with Granny and Grandpa.  We spent quite a lot of it at the pool.  Grandpa taught me the art of diving. Before we went to the pool we played a lot of games.

Dimanche Sept Julliet

We spent all afternoon at the pool and I did a heap of diving.

Mardi Neuf Julliet

Today we went to Carpentras and Amy, Tom and I went in Granny and Grandpa’s car – it felt very strange to be in a different car with a different caravan behind.  The company that ran the campsite was called Flower Camping and the site was called Lou Comptadu.

Merecredi Dix Julliet

We went to a medieval town and saw sculptures made of all kinds of different material.  After that we went to go for lunch, I had a croquet monsieur (which means a cheese and ham toastie).  After lunch we walked to a dug up roman town and the first house that we saw was humongeous.  It felt like I would have exploded if I’d be the owner.  In the museum I had a talking device which was in English and I went around pressing numbers and hearing about the different objects.    One of the funniest objects I saw was a statue of a naked god with no arms.  We walked through a tunnel and came to an amphitheatre.  I found lots of different passages and secret by-ways.    When I sat on a chair in the amphitheatre (really high up) I felt just like a roman sitting up high on there on the stands.

Jeudi Onze Julliet

Today Daddy went up a mountain called Mount Ventoux.  We found it quite hard for getting up there in the car but Daddy found it even harder to climb up it on his bike.  While we were waiting for Daddy to come a man came by and Mummy helped him by giving him lots and lots of our crisps!  I  was very proud of him.

Mercredi Douze/ Treize Julliet

We went to the pool next door and Grandpa did ‘Monster Attack’ and I did huge amounts of diving.  The highest I dived off was a 5 metre board.  As well as this I went on the 3 metre board.  The 5 m was a platform, the 3m was just a board.

Vendredi Quatorze Juillet

We tried to find the 50 fountains of Les Pernes-Les-Fountains.  We found 4!  Before we tried to find the fountains, we went to a melon festival where I stroked the donkeys and tasted quite a lot of melons.  At night we went to the fair and Grandpa gave us money to spend and I went on the bumper cars, whirling ‘village of love’ which wasn’t really scary but did make me feel sick.  The other ride I played was a grabber game.  I nearly got a prize but I missed the last one by an inch.  Then off we went to the fireworks, we got there just in time and it was amazing.

Samedi Quinze Juillet

It was Grandpa’s birthday today and one annoying thing happened and I will tell you about it later.  After the bad happening had been and gone, we had lunch.  I got annoyed with Mummy and Daddy for not allowing me to make lunch for everyone but they let me make a special sandwich for Grandpa, it was so special I don’t want to tell you about it.  Later on we went to the pool and did Monster Attack again for the fourth time of being there.  For tea we had a BBQ and Granny made a nectarine tart for pudding and Mummy made a chocolate birthday cake.  For tea Grandpa wore his camel t-shirt.
