Lucy and Oli (of Two Backpackateers) left their jobs last year to travel the world. They have been doing so for almost 12 months, and counting! They write about travel, lifestyle, baking and Lucy writes about Beauty. Here’s a week-in-the-life of Lucy and Oli, house-sitting<\/a> in France!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1 — Tuesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

4:00 AM<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s the night before we fly to France for our first Trusted Housesitters<\/a> assignment in Saint Matre, and I\u2019m awake, with a killer headache and one heinously sore eyeball. I pop a couple of Nurofen and hope I wake up as fit as a fiddle\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8:00 AM<\/strong> \u2013 I have not woken fit as a fiddle, and am starting to get a bit concerned about my eye. We are staying with Oli\u2019s parents in Cambridge, as it\u2019s nice and close to Stanstead Airport\u2026\u2026but not so nice and near to my GP. Eek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11:00 AM<\/strong> \u2013 In lieu of seeing the doctor, we nip to Boots and ask the pharmacist for advice\u2026..five minutes later, and our wallet is \u00a310 lighter. Boo. Off we pop to Wetherspoons for our traditional pre-flight drink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Our Ryanair flight lands in Bergerac bang on time so we are treated to the trumpeting congratulatory announcement of their fabulous stats that always drive me crazy; don\u2019t congratulate yourself for flying and landing on time, that\u2019s your job! We head to the smallest baggage reclaim belt ever\u2026Oli gets stuck in with aiding the smooth bag reclaim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6:10 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Johanna, the lady we are house sitting for, is picking us up from the airport, but we have a few minutes to kill so we enjoy a free wine tasting. Bergerac is topping my favourite airport list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Home! We meet the pets we are entrusted with, Titou the dog, Puddy the cat and 15 chicks! I start to feel really ropey so head to our room to \u2018rest my eyes\u2019\u2026\u2026..

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2 — Wednesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

12:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 During the night I woke up dizzy, and thought I was going to vomit\u2026. I lay down and pretended it wasn\u2019t happening, which seemed to work a treat. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve slept for 17 hours straight! My eye is much, much worse so Johanna has been amazing and booked me a doctor’s appointment for tomorrow morning. We don\u2019t have a car, and Saint Matre is really remote so we are lucky that Johanna is here for long enough to drive us to the appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6:00 PM<\/strong> — I have continued to drift in and out of sleep, overall feeling very sorry for myself. There is truly nothing worse than being ill in a strange place<\/a>. Not for the first time, I ponder the paradoxes of travelling, and naturally, fall asleep again.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3 — Thursday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

10:00 AM<\/strong> \u2013 Johanna\u2019s lovely Irish friend Una drives us to the doctor, and translates for us as well. I have conjunctivitis, \u2018A strong one\u2019 and have a prescription for some antibiotics which means I get to go to the French pharmacy, a veritable feast for a beauty lover like me. Ahhhh the treats I can\u2019t afford!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 The eye drops are hell. That\u2019s all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Johanna leaves and we are on our own. The house is quiet and the dog is pining for her\u2026..we are in for a long night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 We finally manage to settle Titou, and he sleeps till morning. Success! Wait, is this what having kids is like?

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 4 — Friday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

9:00 AM<\/strong> \u2013 I am already feeling better, despite the fact that I curse the hell my eye drops fell from, so we head out for a walk. The surrounding countryside is incredible, and I feel so contented to be here. It\u2019s my 31st birthday next week, and I couldn\u2019t have picked a nicer setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 We have amazingly fast WiFi, hoorah! It\u2019s not always the case when you are travelling and honestly, it can make the difference between a good and bad day. I manage to redesign the site, and get some serious writing done for Two Backpackateers. Oh, and we get hooked on Orange is the New Black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Cheese Board time. Oli and I talked about cheese sooooo much whilst we were in Asia, so we are really making the most of it now we are in the home of fromage. Bon Appetit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Una calls and asks if we would like to come for a walk near her house. We jump at the chance. It\u2019s a great hike, a bit challenging but really enjoyable and we get to meet her two horses and adorable Yorkshire terriers Lemon and Lulu. We stay and have a glass of wine with Una and her partner Steve, a fellow Londoner. Una invites us to a photography exhibition in the neighbouring village of Montcuq, as well as offering to take us to the market on Sunday. What a legend!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 5 — Saturday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

9:00 AM<\/strong> \u2013 The house we\u2019re sitting is in a valley, about a mile away from Saint Matre village proper and it\u2019s a nice hike into town. The only shop is open from 8-10am each day and sells bread, and nothing else. I love this simplicity! Oli manages to do a big shop, that will cover our entire two week stay whilst Johanna was here as otherwise\u2026..well, we would be eating a lot of bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Oli and I have got into a nice routine, eating porridge for breakfast and having a walk either side of lunch. Our favourite time of day is when we call the chickens over \u2013 they respond by giddily fly\/running over and cheeping. Adorable!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Chicks<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

6:15 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Una picks us up and we drive to Montcuq for the photography exhibition. The setting is incredible, and we walk around the town for a bit to catch a few shots in nice light. It being France, there are stacks of wine and cheese at the exhibition, as well as tons of expat families \u2013 I feel like I\u2019m back in England!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Oli<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

8:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 We have a drink in a gorgeous little bar in the town square, and marvel at the juxtaposition of the neon carnival against the backdrop of a rustic French village.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Montcuq<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n


Day 6 \u2013 Sunday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

09:00 AM<\/strong> \u2013 Una picks us up for another fun day in Montcuq \u2013 this time we are heading for the market. I am beyond excited, not least because I am hoping to spot an Edith Piaf type singer\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11:00 AM<\/strong> \u2013 We are in food heaven. And I spotted an Edith Piaf type singer\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Huge<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

3:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 I have an urge to bake, so I whip up some surprisingly edible oat and raisin cookies. YUM.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 7 \u2013 Monday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

09:00 AM<\/strong> \u2013 With only a couple of days until my birthday, Oli pops into town to order some Pain au Chocolat (my fave) for the day. The weather is incredible, so when he gets back, we head out on the bicycles Johanna arranged for us and explore the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11:00 AM<\/strong> \u2013 The roads are unexpectedly hilly, so we are knackered, but buzzing with exercise adrenaline!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Baking takes over again, so I make a birthday cake (for myself, is that sad?!). Kinda healthy banana bread with peanut butter yoghurt frosting. Dreamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Oli and I relax with a bottle of wine in the garden, and some fresh melon the very French farmer, Roger, brought over for us today. Yet again, I count all of my blessings. I have been travelling non-stop for almost 12 months now, and I never tire of the amazing experiences I am lucky to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9:00 PM<\/strong> \u2013 Time for cheese.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After France, Oli and Lucy explored Barcelona before heading home to London for Christmas. They are currently living in Koh Tao, where Oli is training to be a Divemaster at Roctopus Dive and Lucy is working on her Beauty Blog, Lucy Loves Lipstick. Tune in to their adventures at Two Backpackateers.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
