South Brittany

Yesterday we went for a walk for a few hours. In the end we had to go through all the blackberry bushes, because we didn't feel like walking far. We all came upstairs scratching and a little bleeding. But it was a nice walk....
Marinthe on Alderney
We walked yesterday. We couldn't find our way to the castle. So we went through the blackberry bushes. We came up scratchy. All four of us were under the scratch. That's not nice. Especially when there's water on it...
