Flying higher

We've just finished a grueling and extremely satisfying, week of full-house february school-holidays. The poor grandparents exiled down the road at Meme's, along with the girls and Iro, who was here for the break. It's always a bit of a challenge to deal with a full guesthouse, but juggling visiting family and the girls (who really don't like being palmed off on anyone other than mummy and daddy) has been quite an effort, for all involved. Anyway we're all still surviving and grateful for a moment to rest and recover, before heading off on our own holidays in Tahiti next week.

Among the last of our guests was none other than the ex-PSG coach and well-known footballer Antoine Kombouare, who just happens to be married to one of Viriamu's second cousins !!! I didn't recognize him immediately, I'm more of a rugby girl myself (good one Wales for this weekend!), but the local French footie fans were all of a quiver, upon spotting him running on the beach! He was rather enjoying a bit of time being relatively incognito, before heading on to New Caledonia, where he is very much the local boy made good, and hence a bit of a superstar. It's always interesting to meet more of our huge family......
