The shutters are down

Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will. ~Vernon Howard

I am finding it hard to get back into my studies, the summer days snatch my time away and before I realise it another day has gone by.

August is almost upon us and I realise it is a month that I dont really care for. The French people flock to the coast for their summer vacance, and around here in the villages and small towns, shops and restaurants close, everyone really does take a holiday.

Still I can always visit Fougeres,which is just the other side of the forest. Holiday makers will be admiring the buildings on the various tourist trails. I can tag along since I am always armed with my camera and pretend I am on holiday too.

Here is a little walk through my life I have been watching the French people.

At work entertaining people for an euro.

A leaflet Monsieur?

Sorry I cant stop!
Actually I did get to the coast recently but it was raining!

The French for something is quelque chose.

The French word for time that flies, or to rob, is vol.
