For the past four days I was away in Normandie and I did nothing but rest, read, rest some more, walk along the beach, stroll in little towns, sit on the beach, read again, eat a lot, and spend time with my family. Definitely my kind of vacation.

In case some people need visuals; this is where I spent most of my time:



With some visiting, like Caen, for instance:



But, well, yeah, basically I was always there:



Then yesterday morning, before leaving for Choisy, we got a call telling us someone had broken into my parents' office - which, wow, they so didn't need that - and then when I arrived in Choisy, I received another call telling me my goddaughter was in the hospital!

Cue chills running down my spine. Turns out Chiara had a very strong allergic reaction to the new milk she was given and, well, things got scary very quickly. Sis kept her cool and did everything she was supposed to but she got the scare of her life. The paramedics helped Little Bit right away and everything was back under control soon, but the hospital preferred to keep her overnight. I had my sister on the phone early this morning and Chiara was just fine, sleeping like, well, a baby :-) They'll bring her back home later in the day. All ends well, we'll just have to be careful about the milk and other milk related products for some time, and hope we won't get a repeat performance.

I have no idea what was up with yesterday, but there was something in the air, apparently.

After four days away I'm skip=24122 so I'm not sure I'll be brave enough to tackle the flist, I have to admit. I'll definitely hunt down the fics - hail to newsletter - but for the rest, I don't know *is a wuss*

The 4 days of R&R sound wonderful.

Such a terrible bummer about your parents office.

And kids...yeah...they start giving you gray hair early, don't they? I'm so glad to hear all turned out well with Chiara.

::hugs to you & your family::

It was really restful, for the most part :-)

Such a terrible bummer about your parents office.

I felt so bad for them. Still, it could have been much worse, so...

they start giving you gray hair early, don't they?

They certainly do! Seriously, how can someone so small can give us such a scare?!

Oh, no, that must have been terrifying. I'm so glad everything's OK. *hugs*

Also, those pics are gorgeous. I'm glad you had a good vacation even if the coming-back-home part was stressful.

My sister did have the scare of her life, but all ended well, so, yeah.

Thanks! I do like the way the pics turned out :-)

Those pictures are amazing. I hope that means you're feeling better now.

But man, I'm sorry to hear about your parent's office and Chiara. I hope everyone is settled now, and whatever was in the air is gone.

Thank you! I wanted to share some of the stuff I'd seen, glad you enjoyed :-)

Yeah, the welcome back home wasn't exactly what I had in mind!

The holiday part sounds wonderful - beautiful pictures, thanks...

What a pain for your parents having the office broken into, and then the panic with the babe on top of it all. Thank goodness she's ok. They scare the life out of you, don't they?

::hugs::

You're very welcome! I like sharing pictures; I'm nosy myself and love others' picspam so I guess it's only fair :-)

They scare the life out of you, don't they?

Tell me about it!

Beautiful pictures. Seems soothing and sounds like you needed that.
Glad the babe is okay, they do like to keep you on edge and it never really changes.
Relax and rest up from your holiday.

Thanks *g* It was definitely my kind of soothing and I realised there that I was much more tired than I thought so, yes, it was definitely what I needed :-)

Thank you!

Coming from you, this is lovely, thanks lol

You know more than you ever wanted to about my holidays so I won't repeat myself here but thanks ;-)

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a perfect holiday, hun!

I'm glad Chiara is okay, how scary! And that's awful about your parent's office, I hope they didn't lose anything important.
