We used to talk about going to things and then on the actual day would just choose to chill at home. I guess with the boys you need to get out and be involved - at least they know all their school mates.French Fancy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04941577892849157015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-86686863173879283012010-09-01T17:33:31.485+02:002010-09-01T17:33:31.485+02:00Hello there,

I wonder what'll happen when the building stops though...<br /><br />The boys had enormous fun, although my eldest said he felt a bit funny afterwards and thought he may have jumped too many times too quickly. lolSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-87134336890833102652010-08-31T11:24:32.591+02:002010-08-31T11:24:32.591+02:00Typical boys jumping off of things!

I heard it was the fastest growing city in France or something with more newcomers than anywhere else per year. Maybe all the newcomers are working in the road industry and have helped create the chaos that the one way system in Montpellier has become? Just a thought!pigletinfrancehttp://pigletinfrance.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-81532201162565705612010-08-31T09:28:37.454+02:002010-08-31T09:28:37.454+02:00Dash- around here it's houses, but in town it&...Dash- around here it's houses, but in town it's all flats - loads and loads of them. Where are these people working, that's what I want to know?<br />Six metres, Dash? Oooer, that sounds high. I didn't go in for the jumping, but I did slide down with the current at the mini dam. The water was lovely and fresh. I tried to do some exercise by swimming against the current like you do in pools, but it wasn't easy and I kept having to avoid others being carried with force by the water.<br /><br />Laura - it is a super bridge, one of several in the region. It's also terribly narrow, but cars can cross. It's quite an exciting experience!<br />I expect all the people I knew went on another day. My eldest, who used to go to school there, met up with a bunch of his old pals so it's not like everyone's moved away.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-82735823334759754402010-08-30T23:10:13.677+02:002010-08-30T23:10:13.677+02:00What an absolutely fantastic bridge!

I live in New York and although at times it is big and impersonal I am surprised at how often I run into people I know...I suppose because the size of the island compells us all to share space and otherwise interact?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085413093222573852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-39109588420114529762010-08-30T17:26:18.677+02:002010-08-30T17:26:18.677+02:00It's the same here houses just pop up like mus...It's the same here houses just pop up like mushrooms, mainly families, I think it must have something to do with famille nombreuse.<br /><br />Glad the boy's had a good time, they still have a a meter to go before they beat my record!<br />XXXDashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329090600374787029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-62689010532765922982010-08-30T15:49:31.515+02:002010-08-30T15:49:31.515+02:00What I don't understand is where all these new...What I don't understand is where all these newcomers are working.
