tuesday evening

Well all the activities have happened and all the chldren are home, in PJs teeth brushed etc. they are hoping that their parents will get home before they must go to bed. C phoned from Folkstone is where you get on the train with your car.. this is not the old fashioned car ferry that most of know about , but rather an amazing train which you drive you car along and when there is an open door on what is a sort of box car you drive your car in. You stay in your car and the journey lasts about 40 minutes.. and then voila you are in France. the journey from Calais is about 7 hours or so.. so I am hoping they will arrive around 2200 hrs. I made a green thai curry from scratch, going to the market on sunday I was able to find some lovely hot peppers and the rest I improvised. No lemon grass, but I ground up the skins of the lemons and the effect is rather pleasant. I have no idea whether or not they will want to eat anything after that long drive, but one thing about a chicken curry it keeps . C's friend came for Anna again and we walked up along past some old farms where the children often go to get fresh pasteurised milk and amazing cream. The little dog now is on chlorophyl pills.. and is doing fine. This is the first dog this family has ever owned so it has been a bit of a learning curve.
