Holiday update

We are having a great time en France. The boys are loving the outdoors life, despite mixed weather and are particularly enjoying having the undivided attention of Uncle John and Auntie Shirley-Anne, who however infrequently we see them, remain firm and steadfast favourites and always will.

We've not thrown ourselves around the Normandy countryside, unless there's been something particular that we've wanted to see. The beauty of coming to Mum and Dad's in St Germain is that we know we'll be here again and there's no pressure to see everything in one week. Makes for a relaxing and very chilled holiday.

The other relaxing bit is the copious good food and drink we've been consuming. John and S-A have always been good and discerning eating and drinking partners but I think that we have surpassed ourselves this week, with cheese and wine alone....

All in all, a great time being had and a rest that has been much needed. Keep checking the boys' blog as Christopher is being a much more faithful correspondant than I have ever achieved.....
