Katoula
Margot has discovered that she really, really likes chocolate. Even more than filous!
It is actually pronounced "Katoula" or "Cochola".

Whirlow Farm
After last week's glorious sunshine, we are back to British summer weather. But rain or not we would go mad if we didn't get out of the house, so we went to the open day at Whirlow Hall Farm.
It's a working farm, we saw piglets and sheep and horses as well as lots of noisy chickens. We got to watch a sheep getting "hair cut sheep".
Margot was scared of the horses, as usual.
Update: After we got home, Margot then spent a lot of time telling us about it (as is her habit these days). "What boy doing, Maman Cochon, Papa stroke sheep, Baby Lamb, Tiger boy, etc" This is entertaining, impressive, and sometimes a little confusing when she uses a word I don't understand.
Tiger boy was a reference to the face painting that was going on. Margot was not allowed.

Self awareness
After a particularly annoying trip to the supermarket, we were standing at the checkout and Margot said to her Papa...
"Margot bad, Margot silly?".
I guess this means she is learning to criticise her own behaviour.
Didn't stop her being bad, or silly, though.

Junior Traveller - Paris
Margot is two now, so we have to pay for her flights, but she gets her own seat, and her own luggage allowance, which is a relief.
For her birthday, Margot got a lovely trunki ride-on suitcase. She got lots of envious glances as she rode about on it (movie).
It was also a relief to fly on a real (if often unreliable) airline instead of Ryanair. Margot got some nice goodies, and Papa had two free sandwiches and a bottle of wine, instead of canned advertising and price-gouge refreshments.
