Weekend Family walks

Usually during the weekend we will try to make time with the family and go for a walk about around the neighbourhood and since we live in a place close to farms and the ocean we can find a lot of animals living around the neighbourhood and would be interesting for the kids to see no matter how many times they have seen them it's never a dull moment for them to re visit these beautiful animals  again. And what is great also is that all are within walking distance from our place so no need to go to the Zoo hehehe :) 

Also it's kinda like a common thing here in France, where after a big family lunch gatherings everyone just grab their coats and prepare the kids for the famous family walks,  well for me it's more like going for a short hike because it can get pretty far 😁 I recall when I first came here and don't know much about he lifestyle here back then and after having a big heavy lunch with the whole family and suddenly everyone was grabing their coats or some sorts and started to head out and before too long everyone was out and off we go for the family walk around the neighbourhood and mind you, it is not just our family who is doing it, everyone in the neighbourhood seems to be in to it too and each time you cross with another family you will hear everyone greeting one another with a nod and a quick "Bonjour" (hello) it really made a big imprerssion on me because I never experience this back home. do think it's a good idea especially after a big lunch like that , with a good walk will somehow help with the digestion and also some needed fresh air for everyone and especially for the kids to just run around and smell the fresh air outdoor 😍 Actually this walk about is my favourite thing to do and I'm always looking forward to it and also this is the time I can play with my cameras 📸👍

The walks that we normally have are quite long but depends really on how much time we have before the next eating session starts and this is usually the Coffee and cake time  in the afternoon or the children here calls it "goûter a 5 heures" (break time at 5pm) This part I like very much too (gondoot kan)😝

These walks also promotes bonding between siblings old and young ones.  During the long walks, the children play and talk to each other more and especially  my eldest one, sometimes I depend on her to keep an eye on her two younger sisters because their mom is otherwise occupied with Mr Camera 📸😃 

This is the time where the kids can just run free and be merry 😁 

Example #1 My running buddy, Jadeydoo 🏃

 

There is always a place for wine and no acception in Beauvoir we have small vineyards like this and  when I was youger, and books is all I have to satisfy my curiousity,  I always wonder how a vineyard looks  like. Well, here is one just around the corner and it is just starting to come out of hibernation during winter and spring time and now it's time to grow them grapes 🍇🍷

Yellow bush tree and it's jolie cute 💓

Fresh air and sunshine indeed 👍

And then we have the beautiful animals that we can just walk by and visit 💖

In Beauvoir there are few equestrian school (Ecole d'Equitation) near by and hence a lot of horses are kept in farms around these areas. And the kids just loves them especially my eldest who is also into horse riding in our nearby stables (Ecuries)

Animals & children goes hand in hand I think. They just brings out the best smiles and gigles in them kiddies effortlessly 💖 #welovehorses

Pure delight and 100% happiness guaranteed 🏇

Sometimes if we are really lucky, we get to see these fellas chillaxing in their own domain in serenity 🦌 It's actually very hard to spot them but they are there and usually we have to be really quiet when passing by these areas and it helps also to have a very sharp pair of eyes like my Nikon's telegraphic lense to spot them and capture these photos. 

And along the bottom road, we get to see these spectacular beauty of the Swans that came to these exact same place every year around about winter /spring time to mate. So very thankful for nature's beauty indeed 👐 

And as we reach the final stage of our walk we meet with Mr Lamb. Sometimes they are there and sometimes they are not so we are lucky indeed. The children loves to feed them with grass available around the farm but not allowed to touch them. So we just admire them from afar and sometimes just grab some grass and throw it at them  he he he 🐑

Waiting for some grass 😁

So now you maybe you guys will understand why I love this jalan2 session.  It's so relaxing and therapeutic at the same time.  All the animals are just around the corner from where we live and it's just refreshing to just go out with the kids and smell the fresh air eventhough it was cold outside he he he. 

Hopefully you everyone enjoyed looking at the pictures and hopefully I get to write about my next jalan2 session in the future which would be by the beach and the forest.

Until next time!! Au revoir, and see you soooonnnn!!

💓💋💟

À bientôt
