Sitting having coffee in town when a gendarme (police) comes in enquiring about an illegally parked motor-bike...shortly after these guys show up...a little overreaction to some illegal parking I thought!

Apparently, the french army send their lads here to do their winter/mountain training.
Nice plus-fours huh?


Cycling in the woods collecting cones.





I volunteered to help sonny boy's class (28 five yr olds) walk to town through the woods (about 2 km) . En route teacher explained about the different berries we passed and encouraged the kids to try them! (including these ones and rosehips.)
We had a picnic,
Played in the playground for an hour,
Went to the library for a tour for an hour,
Walked to the pool for a swimming lesson for an hour
Walked the 2 km back to school.
No wonder french kids aren't fat!!


My kids cycling the actual Tour-De-France route for 2009.
Yes that's a ski helmet on princess's head and yes, I am too tight to buy her a bicycle helmet as well!
The kids cycled all the way into town (2km) and most of the way back before little princess ran out of steam. Luckily our neighbour passed at that point and mercifully threw us in the back of her van!

Fog is quite a common feature round these parts, very beautiful in the right light.



Sonny boy enjoying the first snow!
