In the fields

In the fields
Our annual - most anticipated - "visit to Tonton David" resulted in a series of adventures! To name but a few: Otto picked some eggs from the "real hens", he was allowed to stroke David's ferret, got a ride on his second cousin Simon's horse, Loko, and...

La Fête de la mer à Dieppe

La Fête de la mer à Dieppe
Pete, Pops, Grand-mère and I ventured to La Fête de la mer on Sunday. Ordinary fishing boats had been decorated, wooden tables were out and songs were heard. Poppy enjoyed herself very much - likes seamen's songs, apparently - and was even happier when...

By the sea in Brittany

By the sea in Brittany
We've had typical breton weather - clouds, sun, wind, rain and then warmth again... not ideal for the suntan seekers, but pretty fine for us, as the variety offered many possibilities - sand castle building, shell collection, crab hunt, quick paddle....

Alberto

Alberto
Every cloud has a silver lining... as demonstrated in Landerneau, where we unexpectedly discovered a very good exhibition of Giacometti's works, as rain had discouraged us from heading towards the sea. Otto got a bit bored, so did Poppy, but nothing they...

Le Cairn de Barnenez

Le Cairn de Barnenez
After a couple of days in Dieppe, we drove to North Brittany. Our first visit was to the "cairn" in Barnenez, an impressive archeological site from the neolithic times. The view was amazing, as well as the history behind the construction of this monument...

Le Tour à Dieppe!

Le Tour à Dieppe!
We had barely spent one night in Dieppe...and the Tour de France turned up! First time ever that we all witnessed the race from so close. As we were in the middle of a slope, we had a little bit more time to watch the group of cyclists as it wizzed in...

Lili from the Alps

Lili from the Alps
Lili's back! After what (to us) felt like a loooong week away, she landed safely this afternoon at Arlanda. We went all to greet her and she was so glad to see Poppy and Otto there! Here are a few pictures taken by Lili-the-hiker. The last one shows the...

Le frog

Le frog
Our first frog, proudly standing/sitting (?) on the tallest rock in our little terrarium. We are hoping for some more, we have still quite a few tadpoles swimming in the water below. All this means an impending trip to the lake though, to take them all...

Blooming Otto

Blooming Otto
The end of school year ceremonies are all taking place this week. Otto was, for the first time, wearing a traditional wild flower crown, as is the custom for the younger pupils at his school. He was a bit reticent to start with, but forgot his doubts...

Rain or shine

Rain or shine
Yesterday's heavy rain prevented any walk of any length, but today we decided we'd go out despite the threatening black clouds...we managed to stay dry a bit, but got also rained on a fair amount! But we used some energy (football, walking), met some...
