Margot Brown

We went for a walk in the hills with Nadia, FX, Emmanuelle and PA today, and afterwards at the Fox House Papa offered Margot one of his dumplings. After she said "Margot like a dunklings" she then turned to Maman and said "how do you say dunklings en Français?". "Beignet" said Maman, and Margot then explained that "en Anglais, c'est dunklings."


All weekend Margot has been super-extra-hyperactive, and in any given 5 minute period will want to go upstairs, downstairs, go in the car, fall off something, demand that something be explained and ask ask the same question 8 times. Maman and Papa are quite tired.

They Sunday after the Saturday Papa finally got around to buying a sledge, it snowed beautiful soft, fresh snow. We headed out to the park to try it out, only taking a couple of hours to organise hats and gloves on the way.

After doing about 2 minutes of sledging, we sustained a semi-serious knuckle graze, requiring a return to base and TWO plasters. Snow was a bit melty by the time we got out, but Margot found some lovely pals to go down the hill with.

Lot's more pictures here
