Rennes

A beautiful autumnal weekend was spent in Rennes. Courtesy of yet another ridiculously good birthday present from Ethan.

I had just got back from France, when I was shortly off on another trip to one of my favourite countries. Which is the opposite of a bad thing, really.

Our first day involved a visit to the Musée des Beaux Art de Rennes, where we took many ridiculous pictures of ourselves but also enjoyed the "Le Fabuleux Destin des tableaux des abbés Desjardins" exhibition (around from October 2017 until February 2018). Of course, whilst also captioning such artwork with our own humour for the sake of Snapchat...

But there were also a few works of Picasso on display which were very much enjoyed.

A vast majority of our time was spent in the stunning Parc du Thabor, lounging around under a warm autumn sun drinking wine, eating baguettes and kicking up leaves. It was a perfect way to enjoy a beautiful location with the best company.

Here are some snaps of the trip:

Back to Camp: An Engagement, One Car Crash and a Whole Lot of Dirt Goblin.

I had to go back to camp. Peachy needed to be released again.

It did not disappoint.

Being thrown back into the AmVil experience again was amazing. Although I shall point out that as a British girl, there were times when I struggled (what even is Thanksgiving anyway? Geez). But my lack of American culture certainly did not detract from any of the fun that was had.

Although I probably shouldn't ever teach baseball ever again.

Besides the point.

I am very lucky to have met such an amazing group of people, who were always enthusiastic and willing to give as much as they could. Even when we were ill or suffering in other ways, there was always great energy throughout the team and I appreciate being able to work with such fantastic humans. We also had a great director who knew how to get the most out of all of us, it must be said...

I'm unsure how it came to be, but camp was even crazier this time than before...

Perhaps it was the fact that my sister ended up in Lyon (whilst I just happened to be there too) and told me she had just got engaged (congratulations, by the way)

Or the fact we would blast out a "Grind On Me" session at any opportunity which would get only a little bit weird after you've ended up humping every item in your vicinity. And that really does mean every single item.

Maybe even being a "Dirt Goblin" when there was absolutely no need to be after the skit has ended. But really... such a character demands your every second to live and breathe as the role, no?

Or maybe it was enjoying season 6 of Ru Paul's Drag Race with all of you. I feel I could not have enjoyed such a series without you guys being present. So thank you. Get gaggy.

Or perhaps the fact I was in my first-ever car crash. But y'know. Only a small one involving multiple vehicles. No biggy.

Whiplash is a bitch. Other than that, though.

I am even more in love with France and everything it has to offer after my latest visit. I have enjoyed every single hot minute of it. So thank you one and all. Words cannot describe the experience if I'm honest. Thank you to everyone for putting up with me. You all really do deserve all that is good in this world.

Stay Peachy, my lovelies.
