First ever family road trip

So, we survived our first ever family roadtrip to see our wonderful friends Lucia and Oliver in Switzerland over the Easter holidays. Here they are pictured with Bilal. This is how seriously behind I am with my blog posts.


Despite the 9hr drive we had a great time, we stopped in Epernay, France on the way down - staying the night in a gorgeous chateaux - Le Chateau d 'Etoges . The staff were so welcoming and incredibly helpful with the little one. We even managed to enjoy a delicious five course meal in their Michelin star restaurant - all with Bilal in tow. This would never have been permitted in an upscale London restaurant. I often feel - we British are not so accomodating or as tolerant towards children.

A nice family pic in the swiss alps - Bilal disliked touching the cold snow. He even cried. Don't think he will be much of a skier if this continues to be the case.
