All Saints holiday and the kids get two weeks off from school, so for the first time in our three year history with Manu's boss, he asked for leave to go to Paris. It was granted - yay. NOT. Manu's best friend - David - was very ill in Nantes and so we cancelled the holiday and Manu headed off to Nantes for a week to be with David and his family. Unfortunately David passed away but Manu got to see him before he went and whilst the whole thing was heartbreaking and exhausting, especially watching your best friend go so slowly so much was said in his last days. He left a beautiful family consisting of three children and a truly dedicated wife who was so brave and strong through the whole ordeal. Manu is back home now and life goes on, but it just goes to show how short and cruel life can be. It has certainly taught everyone involved in this tragedy to treasure every moment with your loved ones because you never know what the future may hold for you.
Anyway I was left with the kids, the weather has not been behaving and there is not much to do at this time of year. We found a little fairground in Sallanches which amused us for a day.
Bumper Car fun.
Sam - the only one on the train
.....and wooden games in Megeve.
Halloween - made good soup.
