Summer holiday 2016 - part 2



Our 2nd day was market day and yet again, a bounty haul

The amazingly wonderful Babush and family came for a visit (B&K's 3rd, Ben's 2nd, and Hannah's 1st)




Seb & dad played "arc touche"

pal-ling around with Flossie who was visiting at the same time as us

riding her make-believe steed

undercover spy?

taking on a medieval opponent

flexing with pals

smiling (and spa-ing) with other pals

marketing with Toronto friends

visiting with "nos amis vacanciers"

annual dip in the Eyrenville's frigid pond


The kids caught a beetle

and made it a lovely home



There was some time for crafts, night markets,


cold, garlic soup-making


nocturnal canoeing
kitchen tile selecting

snacking in the garden


But in addition to all that, we snuck in the 600+ pages of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and reflected fondly on the summer that the Brighton cousins were visiting and co-reading it when it was hot of the presses (2005)


SPOILER:
 But hark, what's this? Dumbledore dies?! my love shed a tear at the funeral scene. xoxo
