Welcome to the Violleau's

This summer, we spent a week with Carolyn’s family to celebrate her Mum’s 60th Birthday. Basking in the sun, ice-cream, and cool walks in the woods, some of the delights of being on holiday. We then spent ten days with David’s family on their farm and had some lovely day outings... Canoeing – David’s birthday present from his sister which Carolyn was able to enjoy too. A trip to a “Bee Park” – we now know everything there is to know about how bees make their honey. A trip to the sea to use our fishing nets – we caught several little crabs and prawns to the girls’ delight. We also hired a pedal-boat which was good fun. Anna, during a short stop on our way home. Back in Rennes, our team met up for a day at the beach to catch up after the summer and get ready for another year of working together. In September, we celebrated Julie’s 6th Birthday... And had a party with her friends – here a Lollipop treasure-hunt :-) Julie with one of her Birthday presents: a new desk. David thinks ahead in
