We emerged from our lovely warm home into the murky atmosphere that is La Tranche today, not cold but grey and miserable. After a couple of jobs in town (and catching up with Catherine back from a few days in the Alps) we hot-footed to the jetty to see what was new.....
And the photos tell the tale: yes the demolition of l'embarcadère has begun, and it looks as though it won't take very long! As you can see the waves were quite strong and we only saw the bulldozer/tractor transferring débris from the jetty into a truck. BUT we managed to salvage a piece for posterity, a prized possession for years to come. Watch out eBay!!

Tine is off to Dompierre tomorrow to look after Cécile's children - junior school children have Wednesdays off in France - so it will be up to me to fend for myself in this foreign land. I'm planning on going down to see the demolition men at work at low tide in the morning. Sadly a sunny day is not forecast!

Comment s'est passée cette journée tout seul? Super tranquille, tu avais la paix !!!
Les enfants speak english fluently maintenant et ils étaient super contents de montrer les premiers pas en anglais à Estelle.
Ce matin Léa répétait "Are you All right" pour dire ca à l'école dans leur petit moment du matin qui s'appelle le "quoi de neuf"...
Bref comme dirait Léa "je crois que le mercredi est devenu ma journée préférée..." Dave est ce que le mercredi est devenu ta journée préférée ??
Bises
Cécile
