Autumn.....?

Weather is very changeable right now.  It was 19 degrees yesterday and today it is twelve and wet wild and windy.  Walked on a beach locally known as dog beach with Carolyn, her husband and daughter and dog Tilly (Zizou's favourite dog in the world) Mia and Zizou of course, this morning.  Zizou didn't stop running for an hour and a half!  We met loads of other dogs but Zizou only has eyes for Tilly.

It certainly blew the cobwebs away!

Last weekend we were down at the cabin Saturday to Sunday.  Mia had her friend Rannveig with us and they enjoyed catching crabs and starfish etc.

We are already planning the next holiday.  Not long until the autumn school holidays......  We are off to Paris and Antibes.  The flat is empty the whole of September if anyone is interested in renting it.

Back to School

Monday next week is the first day of school after the summer holidays.  Ben is starting at a high school down town and Mia is starting in 5th class with a new teacher.

Other news, last weekend we drove to Bergen for the weekend to celebrate Jarle's sister's 50th birthday.  We had a lovely time and the weather was fantastic.

How time flies....

Still warm

We are back in Stavanger and it is the hottest day of the year, 25 degrees.  We arrived home very late last night, around 1.30 am.  Jarle is easing himself back into work by working a short day today.

Here are some pictures from our 3 week holiday on the Cote d'Azur.

Zizou thinks he is a person and so took a nap on Jarle's pillow

Collecting as many different colours of pebbles that we could find
