mrsv: Yes it was a great book. I have not heard of The Turtle Warrior, but will look out for it.

As for the Photo Day, it was hectic, to the extent that I ended up having a mop-up day on the following Sunday for the people that could not get an appointment for the first day (I broke my rule already )

I really enjoyed the Time Traveler’s Wife. It was a good read.

Currently I’m reading the Turtle Warrior, and so far it is enjoyable.

How did the volunteering of yourself go?

“Teacheresse” LOL… I know nothing about such language. It sounds like your children are doing wonderfully in school.

Tendrils: It was a great book.

As for the vacation, I am sorry to hear that yours did not go so well. Was this the Spring Break where you did the Scrap Booking? I hope it was nothing too bad. As for ours I feel like a child waiting for Christmas … I am so busy at the moment, I desperately need a holiday.

Nemma: It’s kind of between Cannes and Saint-Tropez ( http://shrunklink.com/bwyf )

I am staying well out of the arrangements and just nodding and agreeing at the right time … less I be in danger of loosing a significant portion of my life in the arrangements. I’ll do the manly thing and stay well clear and just moan about everything that is not quite perfect when we get there

You are quite BUSY!

I cant remember if weve been to Frejus…. think we may have done. Know Ive defnatly heard the name mentioned in relation to one of my holidays lol.
Portiragne Plage wasnt too expensive if I remember correctly, the town was pretty basic though, but as you say, the euro vs the pound isnt in our favour….
We stopped on a fab campsite there that had eurocamp tents available too. I actually managed to fuse the whole campsite once by tripping over our hookup lead lol.
I think it was the first time I ever heard anyone swearing at me in french! lol

Our last trip was to a little town called Le Muy (Near Fréjus). We are still looking around for the right place at the moment to find the right place at the right price (The Euro vs Pound changes are hurting). Also it is important to find the balance of good weather to baby tolerable heat.

Our main priority is the pool, if we have a good pool/lake for swimming, life becomes so much easier!

Weve been a few times to the south with a caravan (Hairy moments up the side of a very steep mountain with a 17 foot caravan seemed to be the norm lol)
Cap D’agde and Beziers are fantastic areas, montpellier is lovely too….Gorgeous scenerey too, we stayed in a place called portiragne (Spelling possibly wrong) Beaches were gorgeous and the canal du Midi Runs all the way along there so plenty of time for bike rides/walking if you wanted to keep out of the very nice town nearby…. Would throroughly recommend it to you.

It is nothing overly glamorous … We are going camping as usual. Taking my rust heap of a car from the north of England to the south of France is not something to inspire jealousy. But after not really having much of a holiday last year, I really am looking forward to the time with the family enjoying the sunshine.

I’m jealous of your summer holiday. Enough said.
