We're home!

After 3 long glorious weeks basking in the sun in the French countryside,  we are home. We are all so rejuvinated.It's the much slower pace of life, lack of work (outside the home!) and having loads of..... fun! We had ping pong tournaments, badminton games, loads of bike rides and could I get the kids out of the pool!
France is such a great hostess - nourishing sunshine, romantic walks, lakeside bike trails and superb simple local food plus no TV/ internet access or screens for 3 weeks.
Family mealtimes, our love of the outdoors and being together have always been so very important in our daily priority list but sitting together outside for every meal, no bedtime routines and kids playing in the lake at 11 o'clock - well that just puts a whole other slant on things, doesn't it?
 Life is good.
