Last week when in Belgium visiting Boshra and the girls Family Link Up I picked
up a couple of rather good magazines in Brussels train station. One in French and the other in Dutch. Both these languages I need to expand upon for future visits and out of a desire to join the polyglot development of the girls Leen & Celine with more and more exposure to international languages. So this morning over two cups of coffee and the tranquillity of a sunny spring morning have homed in on rather an interesting article in Femme Actuelle Senior on the Bay of the Somme River. The magazine is brilliant with a good selections of articles on health & well being, places to visit, home and family, decor and gardening, great recipes... and how to enjoy sex now elderly lol This article on the Somme was on the follow on page to achieving orgasms and detecting true orgasm by the reaction in the pupil of the eye. (if my translation holds up on this! & if one does keep ones eyes open at that moment!) So back to the Bay of the Somme and some vocabulary learning. I am sharing some slides I have been working on. Here is a wonderful link to learn more about the Somme and places to visit.. it really is pulling me to do this visit and explore. Visit the Somme The link can be read in French or English.I am loving the facts on the phoques, the seals and the young seals are so adorable. You can learn more on this link Somme Bay - Refuge for Seals
So where is the Bay of the Somme here are slides with google maps to help you locate the site. and the Wikipedia facts are: - {The Somme is a river in Picardy, northern France. The name Somme comes from a Celtic word meaning "tranquility".
The river is 245 km (152 mi) long, from its source in the high ground of the former Forest of Arrouaise at Fonsommes near Saint-Quentin, to the Bay of the Somme, in the English Channel. It lies in the geological syncline which also forms the Solent. This gives it a fairly constant and gentle gradient where several fluvial terraces have been identified.}
Now back to article on the pupils of the eye observations :-)
