Merde, il pleut..

...which at least removes the niggling worry that we wouldn't be able to make it home tomorrow! Daisy has been missing her daddy hugely this time round and is very excited at the thought of heading for the UK tomorrow.

We finally made it out of the village yesterday to Pontivy for the market and a bit of shopping - Tove has her first big-girl shoes and Daisy has some funky new bouncing boots courtesy of their granny and the 50% off sale, and I have new jeans and a swishy dress for salsa dancing. We didn't make it to the craft shop as we had to get back to Pont Augan - still, its something to look forward to on our next visit.

I have managed to get quite a lot done on the Fumitory Fairy and I've really enjoyed the time spent stitching. The background half-stitching, the fairy's arms, legs, face and hair are complete, and most of the green on the dress and the flowers are finished - the wings, the red details on the fairy and the flowers are left along with the backstitching. I think I'll be taking it on the train with me when I get back to work!

Right, now I need to go and rescue Granny from the kids....
