At Home in Cavaillon 18 February 2009

The kids had no school today. They are happy to stay home and play around the house. The yard here is great with 3m high dense hedges all round the fence perimeter which the kids love to hide under. They play underneath the hedge and make little cubbies. In the corner, there’s a kid’s slide and a swing set (sans swing) and a knotted rope to climb and swing on. The yard actually extends beyond the hedge where the owners have a bit of storage area and a few bits and pieces.

The day was warm enough (sort of) to sit outside and have our lunch. It was nice and the wind was only blowing at 30 kmph instead of the normal 80 kmph. The wind makes it so cold. On Monday when we took the kids to school Andrew was scraping ice from the car windscreen and it was -6°C. Chilly! But at least the sun was shining. We’re looking forward to some warmer weather soon. We’re a bit sick of the cold. It feels like it’s been cold forever but it’s only been since the end of October last year when we came back from Barcelona.
