Mothers Day

Last Sunday was Mothers Day in England so Amelia bought me some lovely Hyacinths in a little box for the bathroom window sill. Plus English bacon, white sliced bread and the Sunday papers, spoilt or what. Well I didn't get the cushions out for the garden furniture but it still snowed. Frankie and I went for a walk because he didn't remember the snow from last year but he was not at all impressed that it was cold stuff............Abigail is feeling a little better and went for a scan on Friday but the doctor was called away and she has to return on Tuesday. Emilie went ice skating for the first time with scouts but was worried that she wouldn't be able to do the arabesques or the tricky bits ( too much dancing on ice) but Abigail explained she just had to glide on her feet like roller skating . The result was she wants to go again and again. Guess where we will be going in the Easter holidays.

A week is a long time in p..................

They say a week is a long time in politics well ....................Malcolm went to the hospital and the consultant was very pleased with him and doesn't need to see him again for a month. To celebrate we decided to have a bottle of wine and some of our precious steak from Uncle Roy's butcher. We enjoyed our wine but didn't get as far as the dinner Abigail was taken ill and had to go to hospital. They kept her in and the following day she had to have her appendix removed. We stayed at Clemenecy for the week to look after the children to leave Romain free to go to work and visit Abigail. She is home now and recovering well and the baby appears fine.

Its good news week

Well some good at last. Abigail is pregnant with baby number three. It is due in October so we are all excited. She has been feeling very tired but we all thought it was due to her job. The weather has changed for the better and I have been sorting out the pots in the garden and have put the table and chairs back out on to the patio. I haven't got the cushions out for the swing seat yet in case I tempt fate and it snows. Malcolm goes to the consultant on Monday and we hope for good news as he is at last feeling much better.

Visitors from Dijon

We had a busy week Malcolm went to the hospital to have his tube removed on Monday but the Dr was sick ( much to Malcolm's relief). There was a terrific down pour with thunder and hailstone's. Tuesday we had a visit from Ghislaine she brought her niece Mathilde with her and we had a wonderful time reminiscing and laughing together and it took Malcolm's mind off going back to the hospital which he did on Friday and he wants everyone to know he was very brave and didn't scream too loudly. He has been feeling much better over the weekend at long last, lets hope it continues. Ghislaine and Matilda left on Sunday after a traditional English breakfast.
