France is a wonderful place. Yesterday we left the motel in the Loire and we are in our own France house. The house has a big place (playroom - and where I practice my spells). In France there are shutters outside the house instead of curtains inside the window. The shutters are made of wood because wood is stronger than glass and it keeps the place secure. Our shutters are coloured green. This morning I went around and opened them all. Along the way from the motel to the house there are rest areas with cafes, playgrounds and lots of other stuff. You can tell if it’s a rest spot because there has to be a sign that says aire. The signs are blue. Here’s a little tune about our house ‘it’s a lovely house, diddly dum, (this is from a Winnie the Pooh book I read ages ago). We have a marvellous pool, but I think it’s too cold to swim in. The thermometer for the water is in the shape of a duck. There are a lot of interesting places in France. There are some interesting castles. One that we went to was Langeais. It had some great rooms with lots of chests for the old moveable furniture. One room had a scene of a young queen's wedding. The castle had a real drawbridge! At the castle there was this enormous tree house (which I didn’t climb to the top), and it was built like a fortress. Mum and dad took lots of photos. We went to a restaurant last night where our teacher Hilary ate some FROGS LEGS! The first motel was great as well. We stayed in the attic. There was a triangle shaped roof like most attics. Did I mention, we slept in the attic! How has your holiday been so far? I hope it’s been good. Please write back soon.
Bye!

Obviously our holiday is not as exciting as yours!
Alex is starting kindy on 3rd Nov! We are home now and Granddad is very tired from running up and down the hallway. Did the children go to school in the old days? How old are the children when they start school in France?
Are you going to eat frog legs before you come home? They might just taste like marmite.
We are missing you all heaps!
Hi Robbie, Sounds like you are having a really cool holiday. Your stories sound interesting. As for making poor Hilary eat frog legs, I think Lee should have eaten some as well!!!!!!!!!. Dave has taken some really good photos.Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
Ross.
How neat to sleep upstairs in an attic.
We like the sound of your diddly dum house and wonder if it's still too cold to swim in the pool. Frogs'legs for dinner YUK!
The castle with its drawbridge and tree house sounds like real fun.
Sorry por por....don't know the answers for those questions.Miss you too.
your teacher must be as sick as my mum because they both ate frogs legs
No Michael she ate them twice.
