In the morning of the second day, we got up two hours
earlier thanks to time zone and clocks going forwards! At 8:20 we had breakfast
while the teachers inspected out rooms. Our room earned an excellent negative
score because some people don’t
appreciate stacked shelves art in the middle of the room (see attached video).
Our dirty washing, including colour co-ordinated boxers, lay firmly upon the
floor. We are going for the “booby prize” – hopefully a risqué brioche as seen
in Fougeres!
We met at 9am to hastily don ill-fitting harnesses and
marched towards the trapeze and the climbing wall. Unfortunately for the men,
these straps were rather restricting (if you know what we mean!). Over the
activity was good fun and rewarding to complete.
After the activities, we had a little free time before a
lunch of baguettes (what else?!), biscuits, crisps and apples. We then prepared questions to spring on the
unsuspecting French public in the town of Bagnoles. Despite our initial
reluctance to approach members of the public, most in people in the group spoke
to real French people. Some
of the conversations were recorded and you can see them in this blog. It all
went well in the end, however we did witness to a slight road traffic accident
– needless to say no one was hurt! After this, we decided it was time for a
visit to a pleasant café, where we had yet another crepe. We have said “merci” more time than I care to
count; only the French would have such a submissive word for “thank you”!
We returned back to the Chateaux on the excellent bus with
the fantastic Scottish driver, Barry. We now have some free time, before a
well-deserved hot dinner. After dinner, our evening activity involves a
campfire, marshmallows and some good Cumbria craic!
