Family bliss?

The pharmacy called this morning to say that the wheelchair, that I had ordered, had arrived, so into Quissac I went to get it. Later this afternoon the first wave of visitors arrived, comprising three adults and three children. All from Jan's side of the family. One of the adults is 88 years old and has made the journey, by plane, from St Albans in the UK. It was a long day for them all because they flew from Luton into Toulon which is about 2.5 hours away. This is the start of a very 'family' Christmas and already it feels good. The children, ranging from 5 to 12 years old, are delightful, Max and Minnie are well behaved and even I haven't fallen over or fallen out with anybody, yet, but for me there's still plenty of time. The week is yet young.
