I wasn't sure what to do to make this post a little special, so back to the time machine, faithful followers.
 |
| 1981: Matt's first time in La Tranche, just 11 months old |
 |
| Tine, her mum Jeannette & Matt |
 |
| Matt loving the sea |
 |
| 1983: Matt drowning his Maman... |
 |
| ...and getting a wet bottom! |
 |
| 1986: Nadine now 3&1/2 years old in the garden of the big house at Baie d'Aunis |
 |
| Jean taking Matt for a ride on the campsite tractor |
 |
| Our usual spot on the beach to the left of the jetty, 'where all the northerners go' as we once heard someone say! |
 |
| Nadine loving the little orange corvette... |
 |
| ...later joined by Maman & big brother. |
 |
| Nadine already confident in the sea |
 |
| 1987: the year the Kershaws came too. Nadine, Joe & Alice ready for bed... |
 |
| ...and Matt apparently in feet first! |
 |
| 'Calin plage' - beach cuddle |
 |
| Janice & Tine with Joe & Alice |
 |
| Two jetties ago, Matt with his Deidre Barlow specs! |
 |
| Nadine's joy shines through on these two photos |
 |
| Outside our summer home behind the big house, thanks to Jean & Monique... |
 |
| ...and the view from inside. |
 |
| Nadine predicting the name of her brother's bar in years to come... |
 |
| ...and her turn for a ride on Jean's tractor. |
 |
| 1989: At the Camping Baie d'Aunis swimming pool with J&M's beautiful daughter Cécile |
 | ||
| I love this one, Tine & Phil oblivious to the axe-murderer and international spy in their midst! |
 |
| A final photo to sum it all up, picnic lunch in the shade of the trees |
