Escapade au chateau - Getaway in a castle

Mon reve a toujours ete de vivre dans un chateau... il s'est realise pour 2 jours dans les Cotswolds juste apres Noel! Nous avons visite ce magnifique coin d'Angleterre avec malheureusement le fameux climat britannique!

My dream has always been to live in a castle... it became true for 2 days in the Cotswolds just after Christmas! We visited this beautiful part of England with unfortunately a very typical British weather!

 

 

 

 

Noel dans le Nord - Christmas in the North

Nous avions decide de ne pas visiter les 2 familles cette annee a Noel pour moins courrir et avoir un peu le temps de se reposer. Nous sommes alles passer quelques jours chez Grandma et Grandad et Oscar a ete ravi de retrouver Louis. Ils ont passe de bons moments ensemble, en particulier le matin de Noel...

We decided this year that we were not going to visit the 2 families to get some time to rest properly instead of running around. We spent a few days at Grandma and Grandad's and Oscar was thrilled to see Louis again. They played nicely together and enjoyed every moment... especially Christmas' morning...

Saison de la Nativite - Season of the Nativity Play

Ici, avant Noel, il y a de nombreuses traditions... l'une d'entre elle est que les enfants prennent part a des pieces de theatre retracant la nativite de Jesus. Oscar a participe a celle de notre Eglise ou il etait l'aubergiste accueillant Joseph et Marie, et a celle de son ecole ou il etait un narrateur, habille en etoile. Il s'est tres bien debrouille dans les 2!

Oscar was this year again involved in the Nativity Play... but at 2 places! One at church where he was the innkeeper, and one at school where he was a storyteller. He did very well in the 2 plays, knew his words and spoke very clearly!

Oscar l'aubergiste - Oscar the innkeeper
