14th October #2

* I went on holiday with my parents, brother, his girlfriend and Louise to a quiet little town in France. There was a small shop for sale and me and Louise decided to buy it and set it up as a cafe because there were no other cafes in the village. We left the town and a few months later when we had returned, it had got much busier and 5 cafes had opened up in that short space of time. Me and Louise were wandering around the town trying to decide whether to give up our plans or try and find a new idea. Next thing we were back in the car with everyone driving through the town and there was no where to park. Mum kept driving us round in circles, through lots of side streets and tight bends, looking for a space. Eventually we found a space which was reserved for one of the residents of the town, as there was no where else to go we took it. It was a very tight spot to get the car into so mum got out of the car and let Tom drive it in, once it was parked Tom asked me to write a note to whoever's space it was with my mobile number in case they returned before we had left. Stacey gave me a pen to write with but the more I tried to write the less I was able to do so, the pen was very scratchy and you couldn't read my handwriting. It took me ages to get the note written, and just as I had finished, the man who's space it was turned up.
