Cassinomagus and seeing Daddy King in Bordeaux


Cassinomagus is a local Roman baths which is beautifully preserved and offers a lot of education. In the Summer, they have an open 'go back in time' day for families with a show in the evening. 


(Look at my Dab, Look at my Dab (and they don't mean fish)


Galls, ready to do.. gallic things... raa! 





There were craftsmen at the Cassinomagus open day who were making shoes, carving wood, smelting metal and making coins.. showing us weaponry, it was fabulous! 




 There is the opportunity to do mini-archaeology, there is a giant chequers board!

Then the battle commenced... 




A note-worthy laughing fit!




We went to the evening spectacle after a brief break at our friend's house for dinner. It was quite odd, eerie and beautiful. Men with turbans sporting inflatable white horses which grew from their chests. The men made the horses dance to beautiful music with exciting lights being used to create the show. 




We have visited Chasseneuil cinema a lot this Summer, French and English films are shown and we have enjoyed both. There is the tribute to the resistance in Chasseneuil and we took a look... 


It is majestic and a real honour to those that fought in the resistance. 



We have been camping! 


Then the boys went to Bordeaux to be dropped off to Daddy King for their two weeks at the King family villa in Spain, with their cousins and Aunty, Uncle and Grandad! They were sooo excited! 


Daddy King and I took them to the famous water feature on the water front at Bordeaux! Pretty cool! 




 Miles is besotted with his Dad.
