I woke up on Sunday morning to find that outside resembled a winter wonderland. There was no snow but everything was covered in ice. It was incredibly beautiful! Naturally I raced outside to take some photos! Here they are: (They don't capture how white everything was but they definitely capture the iciness)
After my photo taking adventure in the yard I returned to the house to get ready to go to Mont Saint-Michel. However, before we could leave we had to do one very important (and awesome) thing. We had to scrap the ice of all the car windows. I volunteered straight away! I wasn't going to miss this opportunity. I have included a few photos below that capture my first car-ice-removing.
The drive to Mont Saint-Micel was very pleasant and also very white. As we drove we were sounded by fog and ice.
When we arrived at Mont Saint-Michel we ate lunch at a cute little farm style restaurant. It was delicious! (I have put captions on some of the following photos. To see them hover/or pass your mouse over the photo.)
From the restaurant we walked to and through Mont Saint-Michel.It was incredible watching it loom closer and closer. Mont Saint-Michel is extremely beautiful. It is full of cobble streets, old stone houses, little passage ways, gorgeous architecture and speculator views. We visited an old church which took my breath away. I was enraptured by the stunning glass windows, chandeliers and sculptures. We also visited the grand Abbey which to me felt like a huge castle. I had never been somewhere that was that old or had seen that much history. It was full of intricate carvings, vaulted ceilings, huge stained glass windows, stunning views and and lots of stairs. (I do apology for the selfies. They were however the most convenient method of getting a photo of me with Mont Saint-Michel or different pieces of architecture.) I hope you enjoy!
On our way back from Mont Saint-Michel we found some pretty funky looking cows. Lets just say that it was love at first sight! Haha
I know I had a little preview of some of these photos but seeing all of them you can see what a beautiful place this is. I love your selfies too, you look cute! Keep the photos and blog coming, it's a good read. All looks fun Ginny! Love Mausie xxxx
