Life in Carlipa

Ahh!! Village life! I hate it! Why did we come here!?!?

There’s nothing to do, nowhere to go that doesn’t involve driving, there’s no shops, no parks, nothing for the kids to do. What was I thinking? The house is on the main road in Carlipa, the Route de Bram and the front door opens right onto the street. It’s a bit scarey when the kids want to play with the kids across the road and they have to be out on the street. Generally there is not much traffic but when the cars come past they’re usually driving pretty quickly.

Moving right along, Nanny and Papa’s parcel arrived this morning with some extra summer clothes and a tube of vegemite. Nanny sent the kids a hello card each. There’s something quite depressing about receiving old clothes in the mail that cost more to send than they’re worth. But we were happy to get mail from home (especially the vegemite). Ella had vegemite sandwiches for dinner.
