We arrived in Lille without a hitch - and without Mammy and Pappy to greet us, as they were in Corsica.
By the time we arrived at Jean-Paul and Rita's from the airport in Brussels it was about midnight and we were exhausted. We settled Margaux into 'her' room and collapsed ourselves into the adjacent one - respectively Marie's and Thomas' original abodes.
When morning came we were happy to be by ourselves and without the stress or upheaval of leaving Portugal. Finally, we were on holiday! For the next 5 weeks we had nothing but fun to look forward to, before Thomas began his new job in Dubai. Hooray!
We enjoyed the intermittently sunny (though invariably cold!) weather that was offered to us, with Margaux enjoying using the slide, playing outside, going to walks, and even meeting some neighbouring horses!
Too much time has passed for me to remember the days' activities exactly, but the important point is that we had a few days which we could devote entirely to ourselves. Bliss.
Again, I had a little video for you... basically I've already made them and it seems a bit silly to do photo montages when these gems are available:
First stop: Lille
