Hermie goes on a water sports residential

A week after my adventures in India I was whisked off with The Hermitage Academy students for a water sports residential to the twin campsites of Mimosa and Segries in the South of France.

A group of 32 students and five teachers made the long journey by coach to enjoy a range of watersports activities, such as pico sailing, catamarans, windsurfing, kayaking, snorkelling and banana boats in Mimosa on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

My only worry was that I wasn't sure if I could swim and also my wooly coat may get so heavy with the water I may sink! H-E-L-P!*!*!

The weather was red hot and the students were really enjoying the outdoor life. Compared to the summer weather in Chester-le-Street this felt like heaven- it was a fantastic opportunity for all involved!







You will see that I managed to hitch a ride on the banana boat and just about survived this experience. I was

strapped into the lifejacket.

However, my coat was drenched through and the red from my horns ran into my coat, giving me a sunkissed look! Oh dear, Sue I'm so sorry my horns became loose and fell off into the sand.




My new friends dried me off and looked after me, as i was in a state of shock! My horns were attached again but they are very wobbly.
