Holiday in France part2

But arrive we did and as usual "La Taillade" was as homely and relaxing as ever... good food, lazy afternoons, M&J going on adventures armed with a walkie talkie so that we could summon them back, river scrambling with daddy although not much water in the river this year they had to hunt for pools, a resident beaver who was happy to let us admire him, a two day visit to Lus la croix haute to see my cousin Frédé and her family (lovely to see Benjamin with Élie only 4mths younger), lovely mountain walks in absolutely stunning scenery, ski slope motorbiking for the big kids M&J included!,a family get together meal for the 15Aôut, lunch with Bonne-Maman or the Ohlala lady as nicknamed by Isaac, childcare for us to escape the entire brood for hours at a time to go shopping and even go out for an evening meal. A lot to cram in a relatively short space of time, and a long overnight journey back in bad weather ,made for a cranky return... We are slowly getting back into Billinghay life and trying to catch up on washing (drying being made difficult by the torrential downpoars)
