My Summer overview and how I enjoyed clubbing.




I do apologise if anyone injured themselves on collapsing at the sight of my unusually worded title but it is indeed true. I actually had a good time in the night club last night...

Yesterday evening saw the mass unemployment of the Moténo team - evidently this calls for a celebration. What could be better than being young, educated and unemployed for the cold winter months in the touristic region of Morbihan? It's time to party!

It all started at the campsite bar where we took great delight in chasing away potential paying customers as this was a 'private do'. I must say the French know how to have a drink before dinner as the beer, kir and punch did not stop running for about 4 hours before we finally shuffled over to the dinner table. Here a magnificent feast of langustine, beef, smoked salmon and caviar was layed out before our eyes. Copious amounts of wine were served with it (obviously).

At about 1am I started to panic ring Mark as I knew clubbing was more than likely to be on the cards and I was kinda hoping he may finish work in time to save me. No such luck, I was whisked away in my boss' car with one of the (now ex) chefs. We stopped off at her house so she could 'changer ses pieds' and then pulled up outside 'Le Bash'.

Turns out the club is extremely well thought out with a lovely (quiet) terrassed area for those who aren't up to sweating it out on the dance floor to DJ too much bass. As you can imagine I spent most of my evening here, sipping champagne as it goes, even managed to get away without spending a penny, marvelous! All in all it was my kind of evening and I'm very upset that my time at Moténo has come to an end, they'd better watch out as I'd love to be back again next year.

I'm off to detox...

Update (unforced)


Well I must admit I haven’t blogged in quite a while, mainly due to lack of bloggable material. There have been no fishing trips or stubborn bug incidents to report of late. However, due to a(n) (un)forced hand, here I am at nigh on midnight (sore back and aching shoulders) squeezing whatever I can out of my recently uneventful life to please a certain, rather demanding audience consisting of one person.

So what has happened in the exciting life of Lucy (avec un egrec) over the past few weeks…

Well I found out about a long lost cousin I never knew I had who lives in the next village (she’s French). We’re getting on really well except that last Saturday she unfortunately slipped and fell into the river Blavet, a passing alligator nipped her right leg quite severely. After being airlifted to the nearest hospital that deals with this kind of incident (La Rochelle) she was treated by none other than Doctor House and happily fell in love with the camera man. The wedding is on Saturday in Nepal. Rather annoyingly I can’t go as it is the end of season party at the campsite and I wouldn’t miss that for the world…

Like I said, nothing exciting has happened. Will update after the party as I’m sure there will be lots more to say.

So this is me signing out (yes already). I’m off to bed so I can have some strength for tomorrow when the daily ‘take the piss out of Lucy’s funny accent’ game begins. *sigh*
