Two Pirates and a Princess

Emilie has been learning all about Pirates at school the best thing apparently is that they never washed and went to the toilet over the side of the ship.Well how else do you impress a five year old.
Malcolm helped the kids to make pirate gear and a great time was had by all.
Its Carnival week so Emile had a fancy dress ball at school on Friday afternoon she went dressed as a fairy princess.
Malcolm has been busy with a Lowry jigsaw and its snowing again.

Rhian

Rhian Marc's daughter has decidied to come and live in Luxembourg. Amelia and Marc have been busy all week getting her room ready and sorting out a school etc. Poor girl she has been on a whirlwind tour of the family this weekend and is off to visit her new school in the morning.
Malcolm went to see the Pulmonologist this week and he was very pleased that he shows no lung damage so we are not sure what to make of things now but we are back with the Cardiologist at the end of April so maybe he will have some good news too.

New House at Clemency

After the good news about selling the old house panic has set in about will the new house be finished in time to move in at the end of April. It has been too cold for the builders to work they only managed 4 days in January. The floors can't be laid because the concrete would crack and without floors nothing else can proceed.....
Back in England Grandad Sam has had a small stroke but seems to be recovering well.

Lantern Singing

An exciting week for Emilie the children go around the neighbourhood with lanterns and sing a lantern song for which they are given sweets and money its eems to be a mixture of Carol singing and Halloween. I don't know the reason for the custom.
Emilie's share was a huge bag of sweets & 25 Euros.
Abigail and Romain were also very happy because they have sold the house at last and I am happy because I don't have to play House Dr. anymore.
