Almost Free....

Hello there,

I just wanted to let you know that I did my entrance exams to become a high school teacher in France last week. The results are due out next Wednesday....

In the meantime, I'm savouring the first taste of freedom after a very busy year.

And, what a delight - to wake up in the morning and eat a lesuirely breakfast (you know, the kind where the cup of tea isn't left to go cold as I dash out the door) and then to curl up with Emma and Jack in front of the morning's cartoons before planning a picnic in the park.

Yep, if this is what the summer holds for me and for the rest of our family - whatever the results of the teaching exams - I'm looking forward to it.

Hoping your summer is looking promising, too!

love n hugs,

Robynxxxx

Be sure to buckle up!

Hello again,

As spring warms into summer, life continues in its daft and wonderful way :-)

Emma following in her brother's tyre tracks :-)

Brother and sister!

And Jack continues to enjoy drawing ..... roads and cars! His description of the picture above? "So, Maman, here are two race cars (tractors?) and, see, the two people are wearing their seatbelts!"

So, although things are as daft and as wonderful as ever, at least Jack's making sure we stay safe!

love n hugs and hoping you are safe wherever you are!

Firing into June!

Hello,

Just a quick word as we go into June to say that life is, as usual, firing on all cylinders. The Master's degree in Teaching is 'done', insofar as the exams are behind us and we're waiting for the results. High school's drawing to a close, after a wonderful year. And the CAPES (National Teaching Exam), gulp, let's just say that I'm due in Lille in 3 weeks. And the kids? Grand, grand, grand! Jack's busy drawing people in cars, complete with their seatbelts, and Emma is learning to speak. Heaven help us! And all that, as usual, means that Ben and I are hanging on for dear life as the roller coaster continues!

hugs to one and all,
Robynxxxxx
