Thanks so much Jeroen (Van Esbroeck) for inviting me to France with your sisters, brother in laws and their lovely children. Arent we lucky to have these nieces and nephews to play with!
(Note: In Belgium they often use the same word for cousins as nieces.. confusion!)
We got into a car with Jeroen's sister Lieve, her husband Dirk and their three lovely children Artuur, Barrund and Eward (forgive the spelling!) and drove from Belgium through the Ardennes, Lille, by passed Paris and reached Besse sur Loire. This is where we stayed at a Moulin (water mill) which had been converted into a huge holiday house.
Jeroen's older sister, Ann and her husband Greg joined us on the road with their kids Tobe and Hilljche (that is certainly incorrect.. please tell me the correct spelling someone).
At the Moulin we played Jeu de ball, drank wine and Ricard (I didnt.. I hate anis), cooked, watched the World Cup Final, sat on the Hollywood swing, played with the children.. and then did some short trips to discover the Loire region. Some castles, some little towns along riversides and of course churches.
