School fireworks

Caroline and the children went to a school lamb roast and fireworks party last night as part of the school end of term. I dipped out cos I am feeling bad still. Caroline said there was 4 lamb roasts and loads of people. Really good event but nobody got to bed before midnight so the kids are a little 'playful' today. It was a typical French evening, tressle tables, loads of courses, wine and a late finish. All the kids eat separately on their own tables and have their own party without bothering the adults. It was tough for us all the get the hang of it, but now we all know the form and it works really well. Children are not the centre of attention, as in some cultures.
