summer is here

Well two days ago, Emilia set off for her French adventure. It was her first time flying unaccompanied to any destination, let alone international, and she did us proud. She now gets to enjoy 3 weeks in Normandy and one week in Paris, courtesy of some French friends of ours. 

But that doesn't mean that the rest of us are sitting around doing nothing - although, let me add, Matthew would be quite content sitting down playing his "new" Xbox One most days. We have some plans to go fruit picking and camping and want to visit a local mine and fort. With only 4 weeks of summer holidays left, it is going to go fast.

In the meantime, I will leave you with this selfie - Emilia begrudgingly let me take it at the airport so I would leave her alone. :)
