What happened next

 The newly-weds headed off into the sunset and continued their lives until December.  Olivier's best man was married just before Christmas.  Olivier and his new wife came over to France for the wedding.  We collected them the day after and we all went to lunch.  The restaurant was rather crowded so close to Christmas, but we managed to enjoy ourselves. 

There was some very special news:  They were expecting a baby, due in the summer!!!  We were so happy with their news; we were going to be grandparents again.

Baby James was born on 14^th July.  He was early and very, very small.  He’s a beautiful baby and very considerate towards his parents.  He’s even started to smile.  We haven’t been to see him yet.  Hopefully it will be soon.

No pictures yet, they don’t want his image on social media, but I can assure you he is as handsome as his papa.

A special September

 

I even got to have my hair done on the day

At the beginning of September Olivier, our youngest, was married.  As his new wife is Czech they were married in Czechia.  The took over a hotel in the middle of the Forest.  It was a magical place for a magical occasion.  Everything about the hotel was lovely; we could have stayed there a lot longer than the two nights for the wedding.  The weather on the day was good too; sunny but not too hot.

When we returned to France we arrived at Bordeaux  airport to temperatures in the mid-30s.  What a contrast!
