| Me in the Stockade |
We went to a place called Guédelon. It's a place where people are rebuilding a 13th century castle. First we went to a man that made rope. The man had four pieces of yarn and twisted it to make the rope.

Then we went to see people that had to break rocks to make bricks to build the castle. It looked like really hard work.

Next we went to a hut that they made tiles in. First they got clay and put it into the moulds. Then they dried the tiles and finally put them into the kiln for firing. More than 25,000 tiles will be needed for the roof of the castles great hall.

Finally we went to see the castle being built. It was amazing!!! It started being built in 1998 and will not be finished until after 2025. Hopefully I can come back one day to see it finished. To find out more information click here.

Hi Kayla, it looked like you were having fun in the stocks.
Down here in Melbourne I have been playing with Charlotte.
We have had our publishing party it was great! At school there
has been a lot of rubber trading with me Siena Chloe Charlotte
& Annabelle. I wish you could be here.
Love Jasmine xoxo
Hi Kayla,
I'm having such fun reading about your adventures with your family in France. You are making your posts really interesting with pictures and stories. We miss walking down to school with you but are glad that you are having such a fantastic time.
Love, Kate (Felix and Isaac's mum)
How fantastic would it be to build a castle!
Louise
Hi beautiful girl Kayla, looks like your having heaps of fun. So glad they didn't lock your head in that stockade. You will have to revisit that castle in 2025 to see the final result. It's very old and beautiful. Love reading your blog and looking at photos of you and Kian. Love grandma
Hey there young lady. Well, you have been busy
these past days with all your trips. Love the
baby swan - VERY cute and cuddly and also thought the castle was just amazing. Hope you do get to come back. Wouldn't that be just great? And imagine there being a restaurant named after your Pa? How cool is that???? Been reading Mummy's blog and fancy having a go at her carrot cake as it looks very yummy indeed.
Hugs and kisses Kayla.
Hi Kayla - Some of the kinder children like to build castles with the blocks - I am glad it doesn't take quite as long as building this castle!! I am loving seeing all the photos of you and Kian - oh and also that very cute baby swan !! I laughed when you said you went to McDonalds with Emma and Georgia - must say I think I like the look of all the food on mum's blog better !! Love Miss Sue
Hi Kayla,
Wow! I think it's a good thing that people restore things and figure out how to do it in the way they would have all that time ago.
What do you think?
Kaz
Hi Kayla and Kian (and Mum and Dad) It sounds like you are having a wonderful time and it's been great seeing the photos of all of your adventures so far. You even got to catch up with the Sands' wow!! Keep on enjoying yourselves and I will have another look soon. Love Lana xo
Hi Siena,
I would love to come back here with you too! I might come back to work here when I am older!
Love Kayla
Hi Jasmine,
It was very cool in the stockades.
I wish I could have been at the publishing party with you.
Which mini beast did you write about? I have forgotten.
Did you get to use the special pens in the box?
Love Kayla

Hi Kate (Manton),
Thank you for reading my blog.
Kayla
Hi aunty Louise
I would like to build a castle.
But it would be hard.
KAYLA!
Hi Grandma,
I am REALLY excited about you coming to
France! Maybe you could try snails when you
are here with us??
Lots of love
Kayla and Kian
Hi Grandma Katie,
The swans were very cute and fluffy weren't they?
You should try the carrot cake, it was very yummy.
We had it with some beautiful fresh butter from the
market.
Love Kayla
Hi Miss Sue,
Yes I think the food on mummy's blog is better than
McDonalds too, but it was fun playing in the playground
at McDonalds.
Love Kayla
Hi Kaz,
I think its good too. It was really cool!
Mummy tells me you might be getting another
cat, can't wait to meet her.
Love Kayla
Hi Lana,
Thank you for reading my blog.
Kian says to say hello too!
Love Kayla
Hi Kayla,
Yes I am thinking about adopting another cat. I am going to visit a cat shelter tomorrow to see the cats in need of a home.
I would like an older cat and think that it would be good to give a cat no one wants a loving home.
You can definitely visit us when you are back for lots of cuddles.
Are you missing Miffy?
Lots of love,
Kaz
Hi Kaz,
I'm missing Miffy a lot but I have a photo of her so i can
look at her all the time, and Fiona (who is the person
looking after her) sends us lots of pictures of her
having a good time.
Do you know if you are getting a boy or a girl cat?
Love Kayla
Hi Kayla,
I'm hoping to get a girl cat as boy cats tend to like to wander a lot and I want a sweet little lady who is happy to sleep on the couch and have lots of cuddles.
I visited a cat shelter last weekend and met a few I liked. Now just to go back and meet some more and find little Miss Purrfect.
Kaz
PS: I am loving reading your blog. Keep up the good work.
