Jour 5 : commencé, mais pas encore commencé

By -
OK - un peu de français...finalement.

Hier, samedi, était une journée un peu plus difficile émotionnellement.

1.. Message de notre prof préférée: vous me manquez - envoyez nous des photos
2.. Myriam qui me présente une fleur "est-ce qu'on peut aller la donner à Dalala (sa meilleure copine). "Désolée, Myriam, non, nous ne pouvons pas aller la voir pour la lui donner."
3... On a appris récemment que nos voisins ont perdu une amie proche, de façon brutale..et nous sommes loin, trop loin...
4... Nathanael est difficile depuis quelques jours - boude, béliceux, grognant. J'avais pris le temps de l'écouter avant - sa réponse était  'nous n'avons pas encore notre camping car'.. Mais ce temps d'échange ne semblait pas l'avoir aidé, il continuait dans son comportement de non,non,non.. Et puis, finalement, hier, il a lâché " Mais maman, L et M, ils me manquent".. Ses deux meilleurs copains, un de l'école, et l'autre un voisin.

Nous sommes un peu dans le 'pas encore' - Nous sommes arrivés en Angleterre, mais n'avons pas encore récupéré notre camping car. Nous avons fait le choix de passer 10 jours chez mes parents - afin de récupérer des derniers mois passés à préparer notre périple. Mais hier, j'ai remis tout cela en question - est-ce qu'on aurait dû faire autrement, pour commencer notre 'aventure' tout de suite? Cela nous aurait aidé?

    Hang in there! You can prepare for the camp car experience by planning where you go, and decide where you can send postcards from. In any case, it will now be time to learn to live without their friends but meet now and again by Skype. This is what we do with the cousins... You will all spend some time adjusting, a but like I am, and the kids, to me being at-home mum 😙💋💞💖

a bit of an aside - Copenhagen's playgrounds...

(article in progress, come back soon!!) We are coming to the end of 4 days in Copenhagen,  and we have loved exploring the sights  playgrounds of this lovely city. Lesson learned the hard way yesterday...our kids are very happy when they are playing, less happy when they are being tourists,  even when touristing involved getting a harbour boat bus to go visit the citadel. And who can blame them, the legepladsz  (see,  we have even learnt the Danish for playground, although spelling might be a bit dodgy) are Fantastic. So here's a guided tour of a few mostly recommended by our local lovely hostess, Luna. First we visited her in Naestved, and went to the park 5 minutes from her house.. a slide built into a hill,a basketball/multi sports court, some swings. ..so far, so normal. But instead of the usual climbing frame, there were a series of wooden horses to climb on, under, over, between and slide down from. It was great to watch the boys figure out how they were going to use

Day 344 - We can go home now...

This trip was never really about sight-seeing, but back in Spring 2017 we decided that if we were going to go travelling for a year it would be a good idea to know where to go. In one of our now infamous family meetings we brain-stormed the places we would like to go during our year of travels. The resulting list was a combination of places the kids had heard of, places we'd been to as kids, places we'd never been to as kids, and fish. The Atack-opoly board was produced to metaphorically set our target destinations in stone and ever since we set off it has guided our choices of destination.  As I write this we are currently staying on the Isle of Wight, and combined with Laura's trip to the Tower of London with the kids last week we have now collected all the properties on our board. So job done, we can all go home. Except that this list was always more or less just for guidance rather than being a firm plan. We will indeed go home sooner rather than later - the Eu
