Fun Facts:

A chef's hat has 100 pleats. Apparently, it's meant to represent the 100 ways you can cook an egg. Wonder if Gordon Ramsay knows all of them.

The Japanese word 'Kuchi zamishi' is the act of eating when you're not hungry because your mouth is lonely. We do this all the time, especially with chocolate. 

A book called 'A la recherche du temps perdu' by Marcel Proust contains an estimated 9,609,000 characters, making it the longest book in the world. The title translates to "Remembrance of Things Past". By the time you finish it you forget what the beginning was!

Passepartouts’ family adventures

The family took our advice last month of February being the month of love in Paris, so took the kits on a few days break as a short introduction to travel.

The kits were on their best behaviour much to their parents’ relief and took exploring in their stride.

Passepartout and Elsa could not have been more proud and are already planning an adventure further away, so the kits can experience the big wide oceans and beaches. 

With a little more freedom, the kits could get up to anything so follow next month to see what pans out!
