A Family Day

Yesterday was a very happy family occasion.  My son and daughter-in-law came from Folkestone where they are spending the long half term holiday.    The French schools have a fortnight off at this time.
Despite the proliferation of electronic computer games the boys (and grown-ups) spent a happy day playing Snakes and Ladders, Ludo, Dominoes, Rummy and other card games, playing the Ukulele and singing English nursery rhymes.  What conclusions do we draw from this?  That the art of amusing ourselves without the ubiquitous Telly is not yet lost!
The boys have had an exciting week.  They were invited to a Hallowe'en party by a friend of their big sister where they dresses up and had a sweetie hunt.  Then they went to a fireworks party and had lots of nice food.

Scene:   The playground of a school in France.  Two teachers are talking.  The first teacher says  "I have a little English boy in my class".  "So have I" says the second teacher.  "I think they should meet each other" says the first teacher and calls " Lloyd, come here. I want you to meet Hamilton.  He is English like you".  "I know" says Lloyd.  "He is my brother".
