We'd just returned home from this year's final 'Marché des Producteurs' of 2011, up at Lumberjack, when the skies darkened and a full scale storm predicted the imminent arrival of Autumn.
The boys watched as the 'Son et Lumiere' lit up the night sky. Then, when the deluge eventually arrived, we confined ourselves to barracks, and candlelight.
The two scallywags are now en route for England, with one overnight stay in Paris to break the journey.
Back to school on Monday, when, no doubt, all their adventures will be retold a hundred times over.
See you again soon, I hope, my lovely boys. Grumpy misses you already!
