Tis me again Madame Grognonne chez Loufoque

Bonne Apris Midi tout le monde, Tis I, Madame Grognone ici, encore. We have just received telegraphical communications that Sir and Madame are en route from Brest having decided , for reasons undisclosed to the likes of us, to return earlier than expected to Le Chateau Loufoque. It is a bit inconvenient for us really as we was counting on a bit of time to clear up stuff what has happened.

Henri, otherwise known as Jacque, you know him with the unusual red hair, reckons though there is just enough time if we is lucky to find the starter motor for the automobile that seems to have somehow got itself lost after Youngest took the engine apart to make himself some sort of pulley to lift Loic out of the pond with this afternoon after he unaccountably fell in by accident when Middle let of a firecracker behind him when he was weeding the water lilies. So hopefully we should get the whole motorcar working again and Henri Jacque, oh you know him like I said what has the red hair, should be able to drive it to the station to collect them from the train. He says even if he don’t have time to get the seats back in at least it will be better than the Governess cart being as its raining and all.

I have made them a nice dinner of Roti de Veau as we luckily came into a nice bit of veau when youngest shot one of Yannick’s young calves when he was practicing his archery, It wasn’t his fault mind if Master hadn’t insisted we move the Butts after the incident with eth over mantle it would never have happened its just he got distracted by the sound of Loic falling in the pond and shot without looking.

Lunch was a bit of a disaster what with me having to leave the children to eat whilst I resuscitated Loic. However I hopes to be able to manage to get all the stains off the Kitchen ceiling. Eldest can be wicked something rotten sometimes when she gets a mind she knows better to make youngest laugh when he has is mouth full of soup!

Anyway thought I best tell you She is back today so no doubt she will be writing all about their trip tomorrow if you is interested.

Ooh lummy! I better go and get the rest of the calf out of madams Salle de bain she is most particular who uses her bathing facilities.
