La Rochelle, June 2008


Just back from a 9-day holiday near La Rochelle in France. Had a brilliant time with fantastic weather every day. Went for a daily swim in the open air pool to cool down, played lots of football and boules (Isaac's version, anyway) and had many trips to the beach. Had lots and lots of ice creams and also had croissants for breakfast every day.

Great to get away from email and glad to leave my mobile at home for the duration!! We switched off and relaxed as much as is possible with two boys who very rarely switch off themselves!

Only interesting aspects were Isaac falling out of bed on the first night and hitting the bedside table (blood everywhere...) and Toby falling and knocking his front tooth loose (blood everywhere...). And, yes, it was the same tooth that Isaac has missing having knocked his clean out two years earlier!

A selection of holiday snaps available by clicking here.

Below is a brief video clip of Isaac and Toby dancing and Toby's preferred way of getting into the swimming pool (no sound).

i wonder if isaac's rules to boules are the same as joel's. probably equally frustrating to any competitive male adult.

maybe soon we'll be able to truly competed with our sons.

Hi Deborah and Ed

Remember us - Jacqui, Jason and now .. Gavin!

Seems ages ago that Debs and I worked together at MT - we would love to catch up with you but don't have an address or telephone number.

Do you have ours? If so, please get in touch. It would be great to have a chat and also, we have an invite for you ...

Isaac and Toby look gorgeous little boys. Are they as angelic as the photos suggest?

Lots of love Jacqui Southway x

A handy tip for flying with children

A tempting way to have a quieter flight - but the excess baggage weight charges would be a bit hard to swallow...

La Rochelle, France - June 2007


We've just had our family holiday. The weather was mixed but a lot better than it's been in the UK by the sound of it! We had a lot of fun and did a lot of swimming, bike riding, playing on the beach, crazy golf and eating Spiderman ice creams!

It's been a slightly bumpy end. The night before we left, Deborah went down with tonsillitis and Ed caught a stomach bug and had a high temperature. We just about made it back to the airport to catch a flight home but we're still knocked out with it - now Ed has tonsillitis too! Joy!
