Rabbit in Deauville

It sure feels nice to get out of the house after a long winter and go for a hike in the countryside.
Hmmm! A secret stairway.

Check it out! There's a whole concrete room here. Not very big, just about the size of the bathroom. There's a terrific view of the English Channel from the window. I wonder why it's so scrunched. My ears don't fit.

Ah, the beach! I love the beach in the off-season. It's so calm. So serene.
Yep. very calm, very serene.

...

There's England on the other side.

Where? I don't see it.

It's too far to see from here. But it's over there.

What good is England?

Ummm.... well... they serve french fries with vinegar, though I'm not sure that's a good thing. And they have this dessert called 'trifle' that's quite fun. And bookstores! The books are usually in English! Always a plus. What else... It must be admitted their rugby team is pretty good. That's all I can think of.

That's kind of thin. Oh, and they have Doctor Who!

Now you're talking.

Doctor Who keeps happening in Cardiff, though. In that case he might be Welsh. But that's ok. Wales is over there too. And they also have a pretty good rugby team. And if you go farther north, there's Scotland.

But the rugby there is not quite so good. Better than Belgium, but not so good as Wales. And they eat haggis. I would think twice about going too far north.

Just as well it's so far away, then.
