Amiens - 25th July

Amiens is beautiful and navigable and Onzo friendly.  (Jon would say it’s also quite man-pee friendly. Jon: 4, Noush: 1). On that classy note we decide to absorb some local culture before the lunch date and go for a mooch about. It’s a great city, lovely feel to it, feel very at home here. Scorching weather, lovely people, jaw dropping architecture around every corner (and oddly a beach in the city centre?? Why can’t adults play?). Cathedral beautiful, a stained glass rose window to rival the finest.  Much culture and soul soothing views taken in, heat intense but welcome (why won’t Moo get in the fountain thingy?? Nesh), time for a cold one.

Usually Parents rendez vous means self sabotage night previous resulting in monster shabby hangover. Happily, for once this not the case. However the universe has other ideas…like father like daughter, Father’s car breaks down just outside Amiens (C’est un catastrophe! Is it related to Onzo?). This results in our ‘cold one’ becoming a ‘cold several’..

6 hours later….We eventually meet. Totally sober of course…Wonderful evening, wonderful city. Everybody happy. Totally perfect.  Everybody (Moo included) probably drunk a teeny bit too much though…
