French market and a french abbey – our house swap continues
On holidays a highlight for me is always a visit to a local market. This morning we visited the market in Soissons.

Irish eyes are smiling even more today!
I imagine many of my blog visitors do not follow rugby union, but today, for the first time since 1948, Ireland won the 6 Nations Championship and the Grand Slam (which means they beat each of the other nations – England, Scotland, France, Italy and then today in a very close and exciting match, Wales)….

Beads

Review of Bananagram – fun family game
- 1. It was promoted as a game for all ages (from 7 up)
- 2. It was Olympic 2012 special addition and I was in London and promised to bring home a souvenir
- 3. It looked fun while being educational too
- 4. Easily transported for family holidays
We have already played it with friends and family …. and it has been very popular.
The rules are easy, and it can be fun working in team with some of the younger players
The frequent request on completing a game is “just one more game please”
At Britmums I did see a number of other games from makers of Bananagrams and I would be certainly keen to try some more. This game was purchased by me, and all opinions expressed are entirely my own – promise!
What is your favourite family game?

A touristy morning in Belfast
Not one photo of the day but five! Our friend arrived this morning from Bristol, and we headed into Belfast to see some of the sights. We went first to Victoria Square, and it was a beautiful clear day with great views of the Belfast skyline from the Dome at the top of the shopping…
Looks like a hoot! I can’t remember the last time we played a game, so sad! We hope to go camping in the fall and then we will do that – my Mr. bought a Stratego game at a yard sale, he has fond childhood memories of it so guess who will be learning? Have you ever heard of it?
Thanks for sharing!
