Just back…

… is a favourite phrase of mine. This time we’ve just got home from a long weekend in France with some of our favourite young people. I firmly believe that you really don’t have to travel very far to be able to immerse yourself in the food and culture of the country, so we went to Boulogne. Many continental school school trips were endured in my working life, sometimes with hubby for the extra adult support we needed, so I know this place quite well but there’s always something new to discover, not least on the market. We came across a chap selling nectar collected from his own bees and of course I had to ask more. It seems that it can help with the absorption of medication, as well as various other benefits, but he wasn’t a doctor so I’m slightly wary of amateur advice like that 😉 Anyway, we saw lots of ancient buildings, ate lots of delicious food and even paddled in the sea. It was jolly hot and is going to get even hotter so we’re happy to be home again. When’s our next trip….?
