Am off to France for a week on saturday! Yes, I am excited...but what about the plot???? Next door plottie has promised to water the greenhouse and I know I can trust her, but I am so worried about everything else! I will miss the plot almost as much as my cats, how sad is that?!

;D

Katy, have a great time. 

Its a real worry leaving the lottie - I'm going on a dancing holiday in July, but unfortunately I now have a business trip sandwiched in the middle, which means I'll be away for 3 weeks, so I think I'll cancel the 2nd bit of my holiday so that I'm only away for 2 weeks.

Whereabouts are you going ?  my favourite bit is Ville French, just down the coast from Monaco and the Alps.

Not been on holiday to France for several years now, but it brings it all back, the excellent gites, the impossible language barrier, the impossible gendarmes, the excellent wines, food, and outstanding hospitality ...

Have a wonderful holiday ...

I am going to stay in a gite just south of Bergerac, it looks gorgeous in the pics, out in the countryside with views across a small valley. Lots of wildlife and birds to watch, lots of peace and quiet and our own pool! I am looking forward to trying all the local food and shopping at the markets each day, have done my research and there is a market every day within driving distance! Been brushing up my lamentable French, but suspect i will be ordering some stupid things at some point! Its a great area for growing, so will be on the lookout for French lotties, if I find one, there will be pics!! lol

;)

'olidayz ?  wat iz zis 'olidayz ??

not been on one since the old king died, largely due to moving cities once and residences three times in the last year or so.  think my wanderlust days are done and dusted cos tbh, if the weather we're having this year carries on as it is ..... why go anywhere else ???   ::)

i am having a sleepover at my friends at the end of June though, just for one night, and i'm not looking forward to being away from my babies one bit !!  i really do have trouble going to work in the morning and leaving them for a day, let alone for a week or more !!   :o

have a great time though KT.

Lorna, my cats are being fed etc by a friend, so have to give her a key! Goodness knows how she will cope, Bud and Miniminx are a bit of a handful! How lucky are your friends? It's my dream...the rural idyll with chooks, a couple of pigs, veggies galore and long lunches!! Maybe one day... ;)

Katy Lorna's (jnr) cats are being seen to by daughter-in-law she is also going to water all my baskets and tubs. She has a key to both bungalows but she won't notice my dust ::) Trouble is one of Lorna's cats gets sunburnt ears (I kid you not!!) so Donna will have to make sure he is kept in during the day.
Have a great holiday, see you in October ;D
