We Have An Announcement!
Kevin and Pauline are very proud to welcome Madeleine and Bastien to our family!
They are two bouncing baby goldfish, weighing about 3 grammes each! We got them last week at Truffaut, the garden centre which has a big pet shop. The fishbowl sits on our dining table and it's very pleasant to watch them gliding around in the water, definitely a calming influence!
The children race to feed them in the mornings. The only thing I have to watch is that Pauline sometimes wants to put bits of her meals in the water. Otherwise they are very easy pets. We have to clean the bowl and change the water once a week, and we use rain water, not tap water, which might bleach out their orange colour. They have such lovely, delicate fins, almost transparent.
