Marseille

We went for a long weekend to Marseille. We nearly didn't make it - Manu was convinced that we flew from Stansted (to the point of booking the carpark there!), and only realised the day before it was Gatwick. In the flight everytime the pilot or crew said the word 'Marseille' Tristan shouted "Marseille" right back at him (funny to begin with!).
Tiphaine's 9th birthday (yes that ages us more than her!)

Tristan's cousins have a swimming pool (rather cold though suprisingly for the tropical Tristan!)



Manu showing the French his English moves (no it wasn't belly dancing just too much good food!).

and a photo for posterity!

Wildlife

A revisit of the donkeys at Blackpool

Tiger! Tristan and his friend Evie (no, not his big sister at all!) with face paint on for the first time. It lasted about 10 minutes then he complaimed about getting all hot and we had to wash it off.



Tristan's second favourite moment from when we went to Woburn safari park with grandma(even pap enjoyed it secretly)..



Tristan's very favourite moment (not well caught here) - when papa "wiped off the monkey" with the windscreen wipers (his patience has limits!)!

Visite de Papi et Mamie

Papi et Mamie sont venus passer une semaine chez nous .





Papi avait tres envie d'aller a la peche , a l'anglaise, avec du saucisson en bout de Ligne. On est revenu brecouille ! Mais on a bien pris l'air.

Ils ont pu s'amuser avec Tristan, ou bien s'amuser sur la pelleteuse tout simplement Et on a fait un plafond en placo, merci bien. Papi , ici avec son outil de prédilection.
Pour finir on est allé faire une ballade en peniche. Mummy etait restée se reposer , avec un gros Ruhme (Atchoum !)
