And the family is (nearly) complete

A few days later another trip to La Rochelle airport to collect Philippe, the first time we’ve seen him in 16 months

Yes, another selfie at La Rochelle airport…

…but quickly in the pool on arrival chez nous, Alfie & Betty über-excited to see their tonton on French soil.

Starfish time, our two long-haired hippies (Phil & Alfie) catching up

Next activity: a dip in the sea, with Sacha, Nadine & Betty too

Phil’s been sleeping at Matt, Cynthia & Sacha’s…

…and has to face the getting-older pup’s excitement each time he appears…

…plus the sad goodbyes when he leaves for ours.

Family nearly complete? Just waiting for Simon to be able to drive over mid-August. Come on, UK, please see sense.
