Yet another week has past! We have spent the last week in Lower Normandy at a bed and breakfast called La Vieille Ferme. It is an 18th century farm turned into a small bed and breakfast with 5 rooms for occupation. Absolutely gorgeous. We were there on our second workaway and were nervous at first to meet another new family. They turned out to be awesome!! Su and Pete were super welcoming and the two children (Lily and George) were a blast. Our work consisted of cleaning rooms, ironing, and gardening. We are now masters at changing duvets! haha. They even took us out for one afternoon to Juno Beach and we had a picnic before going into the museum. It was amazing to stand on the beach where history was made. We learned a lot about french culture and even got to see a traditional french market. All the food is super fresh and some of the animals are still alive! You can also buy farm animals.
The biggest highlight was probably the table d'hotes. It is a 5 course dinner they serve starting at 8 and usually ending at 11. We all sit at one big table - "staff" and guests and enjoy an absolutely delicious meal prepared by Pete (dynamite chef/cook). We really cannot rave enough about how good it was. Sam is hooked on his chocolate mousse and ratatouille and Mike is addicted to Apple Creme Brule and pretty much everything else! Mhmm.
Again we were sad to leave since it felt like once we finally had a routine and were comfortable it was time to move on. At least the next destination is PARIS!! We hope that the Steven's family will come visit in Canada one day so that we may meet again.
More to come. xoxox miss you
