Il fait chaud, chaud, chaud

Summer has definitely arrived in Savoie! It's so hot here I don't actually remember the last time the boys actually wore clothes. They are spending most days naked in a paddling pool in the shade on the balcony. I always thought that I would love living in a climate like this, but it is actually to hot to do anything. It's thd ideal temperature if you're on holiday sat by a pool but it's no good for cooking, cleaning and entertaining the boys. Luke is also sleeping worse than he ever has as he is just constantly hot and sweaty. The Whitley Bay weather is really appealing right now (although I know I will be complaining about that soon enough!). We're spending most days preparing and packing for the journey home. Stu has already left to start his new job. Can't quite believe how quickly the sat ten months have gone, and I just know the next three weeks are going to fly by. I have stopped thinking about the things we didn't achieve, and have started reflecting on all the great things we did achieve. We've seen so many things, been so many place, met so any people...realistically there is nothing to feel disappointed about. (Although Stu and I were just chatting the other day about how much more we would have achieved if we didn't have two babies with us...even just two days without the two babies would have been lovely!). In the time it has taken me to write this entry, would you believe the rain has started?!
