First some essential purchases:
Slippers for everyone... its sooo cold!
...and another pair of wellies (to date- one pair presumed lost overboard, one pair worn out, one pair left on a beach)
...and a REAL xmas tree for the first time
The food in France is amazing. We seem to spend all our time wandering around markets filled with lots of smelly cheese and pate. Foie gras also abounds in this region.
I'm training them young!!
Nutella crêpes have replaced ice cream now...
or Pain au Chocolat.
We are surrounded by woods so we now have lots of wild wood adventures. Wind in the willows is providing lots of inspirations for our adventures.
Silas just checking some last minute details with Père Noël prior to xmas eve, with Steph valiantly translating.
The snow was provided by the mayor via a soap blower machine, looked good though.
The big day...
My prezzie, a wild boar ham, yum yum
Christmas day, lovely
Boxing day, SNOW! Unbelievable! A proper white Christmas. Sledging, snowman and general all round icy fun...
Another clear, very cold day dawns, with nothing but porridge for breakfast. Europeans don't do healthy breakfast cereal, so we are turning into the 3 bears.
We are loving rural France. Friendly people, gorgeous scenery, history round every corner, oh and did I mention the food?
