I'm losing track of all the things I have enjoyed over the past couple of months which I still haven't sat down and said anything about.
In short:
it was wonderful having my English and Welsh visitors,
the glorious sunshine under which we've been cooking has finally thawed me out of UK temperature-habits,
the beautiful ring and and other presies I got for my birthday and many lovely facebook notes and cards have made me a very happy lady,
and the afternoon in the park, pedal-boat ride and picnic Fabrice and I enjoyed for my birthday were the best :)
VERY happy bunny!
Erm ... mouse! :P
Erm ... Princess!
Also, a much needed update on my brothers:
Dan is plodding on along his upward road to better and is currently on holiday down south with Maman.
Guy has FINALLY moved from Dotty P's to a better placement. He has a room he chose and likes in a house he asked for with staff he seems to appreciate. It's closer for Dad (on their side of Brum) and to our cousins which is good too. A private trust, different from the last one. We're not home and dry yet by far but WOW am I glad the replacement social worker and the hospital staff who took to Guy have achieved the work his social worker was putting off and talking about... Dotty P's was a sad place but some of the workers there are bright shining stars!
I'll have a try at figuring out how to put photos up... I want to show off the sliding wardrobe doors I put last week :P
Oh, and photos of the lamas in the field under the tree-house we stayed in for a break in July. That was most fabulous. It's all the craze over here at the moment (that and camping in teepees).

We go on a well earned week's holiday this Friday, on the night-train to Biarritz. Well kinda cos it doesn't actually stop there, I thought I'd show off about going to the surfing capital of France anyhow :)
