After five weeks of holiday we now only have one week to go before Toby goes back to school and Gabe starts at his new nursery. He was going to the local preschool last year but as it is only open for 18 hours a week and we are entitled to the 30 funded hours he is moving to a different private nursery where he will be going into the preschool room.

Bonjour encore! We’re still in France on holiday at the moment so it’s going to be another quick post from me this week. We’re having a lovely time with a mix of relaxing, playing and exploring. The weather has been great for the most part apart from an epic thunderstorm one night last week which left us without power until the following afternoon! Read more
Hello from hot and sunny France! We arrived in the Dordogne late on Saturday night after a very long journey – our flight from Liverpool was delayed for half an hour which wasn’t too bad but then on take off we hit a bird and had to circle back to Liverpool to have the plane checked. Read more
