Coucou!

Hello again!  We're still in France but now have WiFi so here's a little update!


Nifty and Pearl joined us for a lovely week in a 16th Century farm house in the Loire Valley.  This place was delightful - well located, so charming and lots of room for the kids to run around.  From this gorgeous old house we pottered around visiting some of the amazing chateaux and other attractions the region has to offer.  Little Miss D particularly enjoyed discovering the many cute, furry animals in the region but poor Action Boy really had had enough of the chateaux!

Most of the chateaux have fantastic grounds and gardens which were stunning to look at and fantastic for the kids to run around.  Although they did struggle to understand why they wouldn't be allowed to run through the manicured potager gardens!!

Four types of love garden @ Villandry

Somehow there always seems to be someone selling ice-cream at these places which the children are very pleased about.  Action Boy is earning a small fortune by practising his French ordering ice-creams and croissants.  (He gets 1 euro for each order!).
Coordinated ice-cream and outfit!
