Spring foal

On Saturday a foal was born from one of the mares of our friend Lisa. Mother and baby are doing great. Such a beautiful little thing!

Adventures...

Lola and Charlie have discovered a great new that is called going on adventures. They pack their backpacks with some food & drink, a blanket, notepad, and a map they've made themselves and then go wandering around on our land. They have a picnic at the river and have a wonderful time. After a while we go looking for them, but before we find them they've already found their way home again. You gotta let them go...

Christmas dinner in the new kitchen

Wow, it's been a while... The days are getting longer and we still haven't even posted our christmas pictures! In the mean time winter hasn't really arrived (two days frost so far). The kids were worried that christmas would be cancelled without any snow!

Thierry, Linda, Lucia, Xavier, Pascale, Lisa and Jerome, came for christmas dinner in our new kitchen. We had loads of lovely food and two of our amazing meat chickens. This is really the best and most pleasant way to practice our french.

More recent news? The kids had lovely presents (Thank you everybody!!) and now Charlie is bigtime into lego. Rod's had surgery on his carpel tunnel and is recovering fast & well. He'll get his other wrist fixed as well because the french health system is such a nice experience :-) Milo's had his stifle locked (again) but seems to be getting a bit better. We might be getting some wwoooffers in the springtime, hoping we get some more work done in the gardens.

Anything else I need to blog about? No news is good news, I guess!
