Following our delightful getaway we had just a few more days in France before we headed off to our new home - Dubai!
Thomas and I hosted dinner for Julien, Magali, Alex, and Quentin, which was great fun. Alex and Quentin also brought their sons David and Arno... you can see Alex with Arno in the bottom picture.
Although a lot of the conversation was obviously lost on me not all of it was. Hooray! It was lovely to catch up with everyone and to see Thomas so happy with his friends.
Margaux had been really enjoying finding unusual places she could sit, (which I'm hoping will bode well for potty training) and I managed to capture a few of these at Thomas' parents' place:
We maximised our time with Mammy and Pappy, including a trip to the market in drizzly Lille, but before too long, as usual, it was time to bid farewell. We left a teary Rita waving to us in the driveway as Jean-Paul drove us to the Lille train station.
And here we were! Ready to jet off to Dubai - and more than ready to shrug off our winter clothes!
