Re: Holidays
We are off to the Dordogne in France tomorrow evening, going overnight on the ferry from Plymouth. A couple of days camping en route, then a week in one place, time to explore the area, right in the middle of the palaeolithic caves and the local scenery.
I'll be taking some music and a few pictures with me, so will be thinking of you all!

Re: Holidays
Have a great time, Kate. Sounds like a lovely vacation.

Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me,
Be they pastries or lobsters or love;
I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy,
In a world full of pushin' and shove.

Re: Holidays
We got back home yesterday. Had a lovely week in a gite with its own pool, and since the temperature never dropped below 26 degrees, we found a lot of good reasons not to go far! We did visit Rouffignac cave, which had 12,000 year old paintings - mammoths, woolly rhinoceros, horses - amazing detail and some species now extinct. Also took canoes on the river Dordogne through lovely scenery. Hubby and boys took a flight over the chateaux in the valley, but the plane only had room for three (thank goodness), so I stayed in the car and listened to Strange Weather. On the ferry home, I nearly shrieked out loud when they played Wild Mountain Thyme in the boutique! It was on an Irish compilation - I tried to find out what CD it was but the assistants didn't know.

Re: Holidays
We're off to Brittany for the weekend. 6 hours by ferry from Plymouth. Glad the gales from last night have died down! The hotel is said to have wi-fi internet access, so we are going to take the laptop. May be in touch tomorrow or not!

Re: Holidays
Why is it Kate if the only one off to all of these fabulous destinations? Kate, take us with you!
Oh, and have a wonderful and safe trip. I'll be right here. At home. As usual. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">
