If Elliot wakes before 7 we're on. If he sleeps till 8 we're not going, it gets too warm and I sweat too much.
Our morning walks are terrific.
After successfully negating the request "Daddy, iPad", I tell him we have a better plan and that we are needed to feed the chickens, see the horses, pat the dog or simply check on the progress of the grapes, which are due to ripen in September.
We head off in the pram early, out the drive way, he waves back, "bye house", "bye car", "bye Mummy" and recently "bye Granny". We pack an apple, a banana, our water and some biscuits for our animal friends.
There are not many cars about early so we walk on the road and up the hill to the north side of Saint Pantaléon city limits, and some days down the hill to the southern city limits, either way we officially enter no mans land as once outside the city limits, we are between towns and are temporary nomads.
The views are amazing, the air crisp, streets quiet. We'll walk for about an hour and land back at our one and only and therefore favourite bistro for a coffee and an apple juice.
Perfect start to the day, and perfect time just chatting with my little man.
Scott.

This is adorable! Feeding chooks, patting horses, playing with dogs and being out in nature is what a real childhood is all about! Definitely no need for an iPad over there. E is one lucky little dude :)
