Sad to leave

The boys are not too happy that we are leaving our home for the last week. No more spending hours in the pool or visiting castles. The holidays are not over, though. Boaz and his parents will be staying another week in Normandy, whereas I will be joining Luca and his parents in Brittany.

Up, up and away!

Boaz, not even four years old, has no fear when it comes to water...and he can't even swim with his bow-up arm bands!!

The boys love the pool

My nephews Luca and Boaz love the pool at our holiday home. Boaz has no fear of the water and loves to jump in, despite not being able to swim. Luca is a bit more guarded at the start, but not for long...

La vie en France

The Bremmer family has arrived in France. Our residence for the coming week is a converted barn on the grounds of a petite chateau not far from Poitiers. To keep us cool and the kids entertained we have a pool on the grounds. Life is good!

My friends the Gendarmerie

My trip to France started well...While getting on to one of the many toll roads a not too friendly policeman suddenly ordered us to the side of the road. Apparently, in France wearing a seatbelt in the back of the car is compulsory and I was not wearing mine. The result...a 90 euro fine! Vive la France!!
