Last blog post

Hello! Unfortunately this is my last blog post but first I will tell you about today.

Today we went to the lake with the diving board as it is our last full day. First of all me, Mum and Euan had a great time pushing eachother off a platform in the lake! Whilst we were doing this we noticed the other people on the platform were also English so Euan had someone to play with on the sand! I then had a nice lie down in the sun and read my book. Then me, Dad and Euan went to the platform after Euan had jumped off the diving board a few times (I didn't though!). When we were on the platform Dad chucked me and Euan off lots of times and then watched us dive off. We had a great time messing around and the weather was hot so we could dry off quickly afterwards. Neve :)

Now I am going to share some of Euan's photos with you just to show some of my favourite bits of the holiday:
.

(Climbing the mountain, watching the paragliders, walking to the cafe (ate crepes), seeing Mount Blanc and going to the lake in Allevard (making the moat).

I am really going to miss doing the blog. I love getting your comments and sharing our holiday with you. We have had a fabulous holiday and been some really lovely places. I wonder where we will be next? Thank you so much again for your comments. We are flying late tomorrow so I may have time in between getting the house ready to read your comments. Neve :) :)

P.S On the last blog post the video wouldn't work that Mum took so that is why you wouldn't be able to see it. :)

Walking in the mountains and then having a crepe!

Hello again. Today we went for a walk in the mountains. (We were going to go to the lake where the diving board was but the weather wasn't warm enough.) We didn't really know where we were going to end up but we were hoping for a cafe. We had a lovely walk and it was not too steep and what made us really happy was that we found the cafe. Here is a picture:



Euan and I had a diet coke and a chocolate crepe, Dad had an ice cream and a lemonade and Mum had a beer.

The walk took us 1 and a half hours to get there and only 10 - 15 minutes to get back because we took a shortcut!!! Thanks again for your comments. Neve :)

P.S Here is a picture of a souvenir shop that was called Neve!!!


Here is also a video that Mum took when we were at the cafe!

Football match

Hello. As I said me and Dad went to a football match yesterday. We watched a team called Olympique Lyonnais. They are in the top league in France. In the end they drew 1-1 which is like Westbrom drawing against Man U (Man U being Olympique Lyonnais!). It was an good match and I bought a flag as a souvenir. No pictures-sorry forgot to take my camera in with me! Neve :)

The funicular

Hello again.

Today we cycled to a funicular that goes up a mountain. We got on the funicular and I found myself quite scared because it was very steep. When we got to the top the view was really nice. We then found out we could watch people paragliding off the mountain. Here are 2 pictures...
... and here is a video!


It was fascinating watching them run off the edge but also very scary when one or two did not take off propperly and had to pull there parachute down. Nobody was hurt though!

May have time to write about tomorrow tomorrow but me and Dad are going to a football maatch and might be back late. Neve :)

Not Alp D'Huez!!!

Hello. As I said we were back late yesterday so I am going to write about it now.

In the morning we just relaxed as it was very warm at the house. Then after we had some lunch me, Dad and Euan dropped mum off at the spa and we went up a mountain in the car. (We did not go to Alp D'Huez because it would take too long.) We walked to the top and got a great view of all the mountains nearby including Mont Blanc. Then we went the wrong way on our way back so we decided to take a short cut instead of walking all the way back. This is a picture of our shortcut!!! (The path between the trees.)

We then drove back to the lake we have been to before and had a mess around and re-built our moat. We then met up with mum and me and Euan had an ice-cream. We had a lovely day!

Thanks for the comments. I am going to also write about today but on a separate blog post. Neve :)

The Walshathlon!

Today we went for a bike ride, a walk and a swim. We cycled to a fort which was made 500 year ago. We had to pay 15 euros each to get in so we just walked round the outside. We also had to walk from the bikes to the fort so we saw some vinards and we could see Alp Duez in the distance. Here is a picture that Euan took.

We then cycled back to the swimming pool we went to on the first day. It was cold in the swimming pool so it was nice to go in after being really hot. We then went for a drink at a bar where we are staying.

Tomorrow we are going to have more of a relaxing day and then go to Alp Duez whilst Mum goes to a spa. Might not have time tomorrow as we will be back late but I will let you know what we got up to at a later date. Thanks again for your comments. Neve :)

Just a few words

Euan has done a blog post so I will sum up what I thourght today just to add. We had a really good day and it has been really warm which was nice when we went for the walk and when we paddled in the lake. Thanks for your comments - Euan also loved getting his and now wants to write more. Neve :)

Euan's other blog post!

Hi it's Euan again! Today we went on a walk to a lake which you could swim in. Me and Neve dug out "E AND N" in the sand and filled it with water and let it dry out so it became muddy and stood out. We also made a Moat with Mum.
Here is a picture:

First of all we went to a crapery that was reccomended to us. We saw a lizard and a few Geccos. Thanks for the comments! From Euan. :)

Here is another picture of mum to show that she does not like dogs!!!

Today - scootering

Just a few lines to add to what Euan said. Today we went scootering and Dad and I did it for 1 hour and Euan did it for 2 hours!!! We had a great time and here is a picture.



Thanks for the comments again I love getting them, it's one of the best parts of the holiday! Neve :)

Euan's blog post!

Hi this is Euan. The forcast was pointing to storms the last two days but it turned out to be hot.

Today we did some scooting on big, chunky scooters down ski slopes. There was a big drag lift that pulled you right to the top. There were 3 slopes. The man that did it also did skate-boarding lessons and in the winter skiing lessons. We think he did paragliding lessons too. From Euan :)

Petanque and the castle

Hello. I am just going to do a short blog post as we are about to play cards but this is what we did today.

First of all we went to a Petanque competition which was very French and then me and mum cycled back and had a look in the local Church; it was very beautiful.

We then went for a small walk to the castle (the picture is above) and then carried on walking back to the house. it took about half an hour and we are going to go back another day and go inside. Neve :)

High ropes and fireworks

Hello, got back at 12:30pm yesterday so I am going to write about it now instead and then do another blog post about today a bit later.

Yesterday me, Dad and Euan went to the place where we climbed the mountain because they have a high ropes course there. It was really fun and I mannaged to do all the blue course and i got half way through the red one but I had to get down; I don't mind. We then did the tubing where you have to sit in a ring and slide down a slope and then went on the scooters.

In the evening we went to a firework display. I really enjoyed it and some of the fireworks were spectacualar. Before we had a pinani and a nutella crape which was really nice. Neve :)

The lake

Hello again! Today we went to a lake and it was so hot that all of us went for a swim. There was a diving board that me, dad and Euan all jumped off. Me and Euan were really scared so we made Dad go first an then Euan went and then I went. I screemed all the way and didn't do it again but I am really glad I did it! Euan loved it and did it again and again while me and Dad swam and watched from the side. We then had an ice-cream which we really enjoyed. We had a fab day
and an't wait for tomorrow. Neve :)

A walk up the mountins

Hi. Sorry I am having to write this the day after we did it but as you can imagine I was very tired when we got back yesterday from climbing the mountain!
(Euan took the picture)

It was my idea to walk up a mountain because I remember the wonderful feeling we got when we got to the top of the mountain in Switzerland. This mountain was a lot steeper and harder but again when we got to the top we all felt really good and were looking forward to the down hill walk the way back. Unfortunately when we started to walk back I slipped on a stone and hurt my foot but it stopped hurting after a while and all I could think was that it was better than walking up the mountain!

This is a picture of Mum and Euan and me at the top of the mountain. (Dad took the picture)


When we got to the topwe wanted a picture of all of us so we put the camera on timer.
This is attempt 1:

This is our final picture: (much better!)

Thank you for your comments. Will write about today later. Neve :)

(If you click once on the pictures then a bigger version comes up.)

First day in France and the house!

Hello again! I am so glad I will be able to share our holiday with you again via the blog. I have loved doing it over the past years and I am glad that you like it aswel.

First of all I am going to share with you some of the pictures of the house we are staying in:






(You may think it is weird to just take a picture of a cupboard but that is actually the way to get to mine and Euan's room!)

I don't know if you remember but when we were in Switzerland we went to a lido and today we have found another outdoor swimming pool which was incredibly nice because we were all hot and sweaty from the bike ride there. It was very nice and the water was cold but nice. We then went to a supermarket to get some food and as we came out we could see the mountains ahead of us. It has been hot here so hopefully when we get back we will have a nice sun tan but we will not be burnt.

Tomorrow we are going to have a walk in the mountains and probabally have a picnic wich will be nice if the weather carries on as it is. Thak you! Neve :)
