Instasamedi {Summer 2012}

C'est samedi !  

C'est le mois de septembre !

Back to school is just around the corner...

Back to blogging, however?   

That starts NOW!!!

You know what?

To sum up my summer (!) 

I've decided to share some Instagram photos.

My (fallen into disrepair) Instasamedi feature 

usually tells you about my week via seven photos.

But today?  I've allowed myself to post a dozen!  Pourquoi ?

Well, it's been 12 weeks since my last post {eeeeek!}

So without further ado, on y va ?

juin

We spent the last week of June on Belle-Île-en-Mer, 

which is {as its name suggests} a beautiful island 

off the Atlantic coast of Brittany.

One of the island's many gorgeous beaches

Sandy feet?  Yes please!

On the way to & from Brittany
{which involved train, métro, train again, bus, ferry...}
we stopped for a night or two in Paris to see friends 
& fancy stuff like this: 

Sacré Coeur, je t'adore !

juillet
July was mostly spent in & around Annecy.
Highlights?
The three-day Musilac Festival,
time spent with my mom in Zee Middle-of-Nowhere, France
{where she & a few of her friends had rented a place}
& lots of sunshine.

Yes, we saw LMFAO at Musilac.
{But please note:  this is NOT mon mari & moi !!!}

Rush hour in the village where my mom stayed...

août

August was full-on vacation mode.

We spent a week in the Cantal region of France,

which is full of pretty villages, {long-dormant} volcanoes & cheese.

See that open window?  That's where FQ's grandpa lived as a child.

Cheese please! 

And then?

A week in Ireland!

I.  Loved.  It.

Pub perfection in Dublin.

Rainy yet festive?  That works for me!

It seems that the Irish love bad puns.  Moi aussi !

Me hanging out with the Irish Sea.

So there you go.

Feel back in the loop?  Moi aussi... ooof !

More soon, I promise...

Alors à bientôt & bon week-end tout le monde !
