Winter plumage

Despite my toes not having their summer colour (blue nails) and my legs remaining resolutely in their winter unshaven state (extra warmth), it was time for bare legs and flip flops today as summer temperatures hit SW France. It being a one day only thing, we talked of nothing serious, hung out in the garden all day, got sunburnt (in March???) and had the first Barbie of the year.

Fabulous.

TallGirl set fire to her windowsill with a magnifying glass just to prove she could, and then set out to identify all the ants In our garden (by species, rather than by name - though I feel sure that will come). Later we made the kids watch Top Gun, which was neither as rude nor as exciting as I remembered.

And the fist hoopoes of the year showed up.
