The year 2000 - part two
Ah summer! This summer Cicely took her first foreign tour and found it most agreeable. The locals were very friendly and she even deigned to speak a few words of French, mostly connected with ice cream or chips. Tents and swimming pools proved a big hit as did carousels. Carousels! The merest mention of the word is enough to start Dad twitching, Cicely should have been appointed official carousel tester for the Vendee region.
Cicely at the castle at Talmont. She is now convinced that she is indeed a princess forced to live with commoners. One day her royal roots will be uncovered. |

Walking in my shoes, or mucky green wellies as the case may be. |
Gratitous arty picture. Dad tries out his new camera, Cissy gets all artistic. |
Fashion victim. What the best dressed three year olds wear when given the choice. |
Bridesmaid at last! Cicely is a bridesmaid for Auntie Helen & Uncle Jeff, October 1999. Sorry about the dodgy colours, the dress should be blue! |
