Half term!

The new cars have arrived. Sacha inspected my car from top to bottom before pronouncing himself satisfied. He is remarkably interested in anything that has wheels. He is learning the parts of the car in French.

On opening Louis' homework book on Thursday evening, I saw his teacher had written the following : 

"This morning, in class, when it was his turn to play in  "the ferret game" (???? I'll have to ask about that one,) Louis said "Soixante-quatre!" (64.) This showed that he had been following the maths lesson, and also that he has understood the rule of adding two by two. Louis is a very attentive pupil. Very good work! "

Great stuff, Louis.

Friday, the last day of half term.  Nick arrived this afternoon, and took us all out to supper in a very nice crêperie.

It's all that dry cider that does it.

They are off to Disneyland tomorrow, and then to England. Happy Half Term Holiday, everyone! I'll be back here on the blog in a few days' time.
