I don't have enough, in my head for a post but I have little snippety bits and then I'm off to do my rounds!
So, the summer ... France was lovely but a little soggy. Just like the UK, the hot dry weather seemed to have been kept especially for term time ~ hot in July and September with plenty of rain throughout August. It's not that there was no sun ... rather that there was plenty of rain to keep the dust down! The rain did make for great canoeing though as there was more water in the Dordogne than I've seen for many a year! So here, to keep the readers happy a few canoeing photos!
Simon and Steve had a lads day out ... they went to Andorra, just an excuse to drive fast through the mountains if you ask me. The weather and the scenery were stunning and it was very peaceful at the water park ... which is where we ended up!
In a complete change of subject school started for real last week. We've had a week of "come along, bring your child and have fun for an hour or so" but on Tuesday they came back for good! It's been fun but by golly it's hard work! They move fast the little ones but they're very sweet :o)
Had a very quiet weekend, shopping in Tesco* and lots of housework ... never thrilling! It was a bit of a downer after last weekend when I left work in a flurry on Friday evening and went to Brighton to stay with Kev. We stayed in and shared a bottle or two of Isla Negra on Friday night, then walked the Lanes in the sunshine and had a fabulous meal out with friends (Simon came too) on Saturday. I never get enough time to spend with him ~ my husband's unreasonable jealousy doesn't help this situation!
Anyway it's Monday, so I'd better shift my arse and get to work! Have a fab week everyone!
* Christmas selection boxes on the shelves ... in September! What are they like?

i used to love canoeing, not sure i'd be able to actually get in one anymore...lol
:0)
What are selection boxes? Are they must boxes that have christmassy stuff all over them?
And thanks for the pics (the readers really love them *snicker*), they're beautiful...all that sun and water...looks so peaceful and calming...almost made ME want to get in a canoe and paddle...I did say almost lol
I bet those littlies ARE really sweet, but exhausting to cope with. My hat's off to you, I'd never have the patience lol
Good to hear some nears :)
Magpie ~ Lol! Seeing as it's you it's ok! I fell out of the canoe as I was getting out and got soaked.
Lisa ~ yes, selection boxes are Christmassy / chocolatey type things. Very nice too but a little early for me to be buying
Selection boxes already !!! I thought the ASDA halloween AISLE (not shelf) was early enough!
I know my kids are bigger than yours.... but some of them are only just and yes they move FAST.
it is lovely to see you again I did miss reading all about your stuff.
