Quel temps fait-il?

It's been another uneventful week here in Savoie. Turns out life in France isn't too dissimilar to life back at home, except here I don't understand what people are saying and the weather is miles better.

Speaking of weather, it looks like autumn is finally going to catch up with us this weekend. We've had almost consistently sunny weather since we arrived, usually in the mid to high 20s. But we're forecast rain for Saturday and the temperature looks to drop to low 20s next week. Still considerably warmer than Whitley Bay though!

It's a strange climate here. Mornings are actually pretty cold and there's usually a thick mist surrounding the mountains. By 10am this normally burns off to reveal cloudless blue skies and bright sunshine. I think we've had about five rainy days in the six weeks we've been here.

According to the neighbours it really cools down in November and winter starts to set in. The sun is still noticeably more powerful than at home though and clear wintry days will still feel quite warm.

Anyway to escape this weekend's rain, we're off on an adventure! Camping! In a tent! With two babies! What could possibly go wrong?!
