Made it so far

Its been over Four months since we stepped on French soil. We’ve integrated well; rekindled old friendships and made new ones.

The Summer was hot with canicules (heat waves) and the loudest storms our children have ever heard. We've swam in lakes, parapented over mountains and white water rafted the rapids.

Our children are gradually expanding their French vocabulary. It’s wonderful to watch. They are Amazing Little beings. I'm very proud of them. I know it must be very difficult at times for them. As it is for me too.

A recent edition to our family is a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy called Fondue, (like the cheese dish) named by Frank - the kids love him. It has enabled conversations to what was once a quiet school pick-up.

October half term is over and a UK visit was spot on. It gave us quality time with close family and friends.

The weather in the mountains has turned cold and any November rain has switched to snow.

With my summer sandals packed away and snow boots at the ready, we await our winter season.
