Struggling.....

Our life continues to struggle along at the moment. Here is a picture of my evening. A bottle of wine from our next France passion stop. Chateau des Matards. It is a particularly good wine. We at the only ones here too.  So we sit, pitched in the sun enjoying the children cycling around and making their own games. So the wine was purchased from our non English speaking hosts. Another fine conversation had with a modicum of understanding each way. 

Maya has just started re-enacting a scene from the film "The Plank". An old retro movie where in one scene a policeman tries to get on his bicycle. For those in the know, Maya has come up with link all on her own and performed it particularly well. For those who do not know the film, check it out on YouTube or something!

So we have travelled off our island now and are nearly to Bordeaux. So some proper wine tasting will be happening. Anyway, this particular post probably is a reminder to us, that when the weather changes and times are harder that we have had some stunning evenings. The children were going to scrapbook tonight but it is too nice for that.

So as we continue to make our way south, we will head for the Dordogne. A man I met on our trial camp night in Axminster suggested canoeing along the Dordogne and looking at the castles etc. so that is what I plan to do over the coming days. I might be on my own on this venture unless Jasper and Maya want to come.

 And then we head to Spain, where the adventure of the unknown continues. We approach the end of our first month and things are feeling good at the moment. We know that this is the easy part, but the whole thing of never quite knowing where we are going is working fine. I do think that will be the part that will become hard over time, but that is just another hurdle to overcome.
