I thought I’d share a ‘typical’ day with you – or at least as typical as it gets. This is what my yesterday looked like (19 th June) … 7:30 a.m . The kids wake me. I take them downstairs and sort out breakfast. It’s Wednesday and as we live in France, that means no school. (Yes, the whole of France has NO SCHOOL on Wednesdays.) While the boys eat breakfast I sit in the kitchen swigging back coffee and checking over the hundred words I took ...
