Sixty hectares by the sea in le Morbihan

Sometimes a surprise awaits you on he most ordinary day.   When I left a family party to drop Lutin & Lutine off at pony camp, I expected to return shortly thereafter, finish off the cheese plate that awaited me and spend the afternoon lazily chatting with Arnaud's cousins who were gathered in Locmariaquer.

Once the kids were settled in, I saw apprehension rising in Chloé as she realized she was to mount a double pony, Étoile. What she had been looking forward to all Summer was turning into her biggest fear and I quickly saw my relaxing afternoon drifting out of reach.....

Ecolo, a giant Newfoundland was our constant companion.

The big surprise turned out not to be the magnificent hidden estate, but that in just one week my kids were gate jumping and galloping around it. And at the end of the day, someone got to relax.

Love this post! I feel like it's the kind of thing that if you save, your children will love reading when they're older :)
