Get 'im Out! Get 'im Out! Get 'im Out!

Well, we are now in Beuzec Cap Sizun I think! Anyway, Brittany, and south of Brest. The sun is still lovely and the beach good enough to burn on again. Todays title of the blog was said very quickly by a male member of our party, who has been desperate to catch a lizard since we arrived. Well, he got his wish finally, only for it to dive straight for the safety of his sleeve. If I was not laughing so much I may have been able to help him. Thankfully, Andrew was able to control himself and remove the lively monster from his armpit!
That is not the only animal that we have encountered on our travels, we have been attacked by giant hairy caterpillars, killer mosquitoes, small biting flies, monster blue bottles, ladybirds, stag beetles, of all sizes, water rats that sound like rustling bags in the middle of the night and POP bellied pigs!!!! (To anyone else they are pot-bellied, but to Kirsty they are POP!!)
I have also done two more things that I have never done before, gone down a giant water slide twice, just to prove it was not a fluke!!, and taken the kids out on two different sorts of pedalos. The second was such a major work out that Andrew and I needed reviving afterwards.
We have also been to a great wildlife park in Branfere and a lovely water park where the kids got soaked, fully clothed. Branfere was great and we managed to take a whole DVD. It was all open plan and the animals could roam freely. I have never seen so many peacocks, wallabies and deer, to name a few, that where so close you could touch them.
We have been moving further north again into house hunting territory so hopefully we will be able to find some more suitable properties soon.
Love us. xxx

Nice to know your getting to see the wildlife, some up closer than others!! Did the lizard survive his adventure?!!

Kirsty hope you liked your pop bellied pigs.

Take care and sending lots of love

Wow! Do you guys have any time to actually find a house? Sounds like you're having waaaaaay too much fun!

Ask Kirsty what would happen if you poked one of those pigs in the belly with a sharp stick? Would they go 'pop' then?

Love & happy treking!

I'm just picturing you going down that water slide... i hope you have pictures!

Its great to read about you all being so close to nature and the local wildlife... rather you all than me. Guess I'm too much of a city girl.

Happy house hunting!

Love & hugs
