Half-term was bookended a few days later with a long weekend in Paris. First night in and the girls were in bed, all comfy and quiet, by midnight, so that was a result. On Thursday we bundled onto the 69 bus which crawled/sped its way through town to the Eiffel Tower, so of course, we obliged.

Mad Hatter Tea rides? Flying Dumbos in the air? Cutting edge, in that 50s kind of way, amusement park attractions? Gemma and Papa did it. Worst fast "food" in the world? Did that too.

Kicked off Gemma's first half-term with a weekend with Fred and Harry in Stroud. Went of a stroll on the countryside, recorded a few demos on Garageband and had a Gemma/Harry sleepover in the bunkbed.
