We’re back

Bonjour,

We are now back in Cherbourg after a few weeks on Oz visiting family and friends. Long haul flights are such fun – said no one ever. Here are a few fun facts and figures about our trip….

So by the time we got home we felt a bit like….

It was great to catch up with so many people and get a bit of a mental break from trying to work out French translations, shopping in Euro, driving on the left and just knowing how things are done. We are now back to bunker down for winter. The weather is still warmish but we noticed how much the days have shortened while we were away. Lee is back to riding to work in the dark. Daylight saving finishes here next week but won’t make a huge difference, it will still be dark till about 8am.

In other news, last weekend we went to the second annual “Australians doing Halloween in Cherbourg” bash. We weren’t around for the first one last year, but anybody who went said it was huge. This one did not disappoint. The family who hosted spent a week getting their place ready with cobwebs, gravestones, piano playing skeletons and some amazing costumes. Here are a few pics…..

Now we are back we have a few plans in store for the next few months, so thefrenchfeed posts should be appearing with a bit more frequency.

Happy Halloween and surveillez cet endroit.
