It's bath time for Mr. T! Our resident quack, known more formally, but to no-one in particular, as Mr. Tulkinghorn (Mr. T being so much quicker to say), has been without a paddling pool ('pond' seeming a little too grand a description for what was once the plastic base of an enormous rat cage) for some time since it was destroyed by our ferocious French sun earlier this summer. Cue the boys dusting off their hammers and chisels and making short work (eventually) of dislodging an unloved bath from a particularly neglected and spidery corner of our work in progress (somewhere I never venture after dark if I can help it). Now they only need to dig an enormous hole and shift the bath into place - surely the work of twenty minutes tops... 🙄 #diyduckpond #reuserecycle #homemadehome #homefaitmaison #lifeinfrance

Peek-a-boo, I see you! #mirrorbaby #lovestochomp

'R' is for 'requin'...or more specifically 'requins': 'requin-marteau', 'grand requin blanc' and 'requin baleine' (that's hammerhead, great white and whale sharks for any of you not interested enough in every species of shark in existence to learn the names in multiple languages...you know who you are 😉) Watching 'Octonauts' in French to try to encourage my Chou to speak some (or any) French before he moves up to Moyenne Section at school in September has done wonders for my education! My Chou is obstinate in his belief that everyone at school speaks English at home, and consequently sees no point in speaking French himself, so, to absolutely no-one's enjoyment, there has been a holiday-wide ban on speaking English in the mornings...5 weeks down, 2 to go! #handprintart #shark #preschoolcrafts #painting #lifeinfrance

Father's Day factory line underway! My Chou is in a walrus phase at the moment (lucky Papa, lucky Grandad), and, thanks to the Octonauts, is slightly obsessed with the 'midnight zone' (the darker patch at the vottom). Not sure if walruses usually dive down so deep but these seem happy enough with adventure. Now to make the two hour posting opportunity at la poste tomorrow, so that Grandad's card arrives on time... #handprintart #walrus #underwater #fathersday #preschoolcrafts

I have had to wait 4 years for my peony plants to flower, but it was all worth it as they are finally in bloom and looking fabulous! #peony #favouriteflower #iprobablyplantedthembadly

First harvest of the year!!! #excited #yummyinmytummy #growyourown

Have a rummage!
