After waiting so long Kim, the time has finally arrived.  How are the travellers, getting a bit weary or keeping up with the pace?  Hope the sun keeps shining for you all - enjoy your valuable time together & make the most of it.  Say hi to Trudes for me.

The travellers are very well and are having a lovely time except its gone so fast (same old story.. Holidays never seem long enough)

Hope we have sun again today.. Yesterday was fore ast sun nd last night they mentioned rain... I really think these weather people have no clue ..

Will say hi for you jd 😊

Ok it seems i have given you all the impression that i. Am very depressed and ready to jump off. Bridge or something.. So just to clear that up.. Have had. Hard year so far and the weather got me down in the dumps for a good week there but all is well.. Soldiering on and all that.. Chirpy and cheery joking around me 😄

Glad you are not going to jump Frozzie LOL. Sometimes life gets us down, but we need to pick ourselves up, dust yourself off and get back on track. Seems like your on that track again Frozzie.

However, if you do ever feel inclined to jump off a bridge, make sure you are firmly attached to a bungee cord!

Just saw this and thought of you Frozzie.

Frozzie and Trudy,  both have a great time.  Is the Abbey de Fontrevaud where Richard the Lionheart is buried with his mother,  Eleanor of Aquitaine?  If it is, we spent a most memorable few nights at a nunnery in the ground,  several years ago.  Was then run as a farm and we had dinner there.   Great memories.  Would love to go back.

I hope that sunshine breaks through the clouds, and even so I am sure you will have a wonderful time.

Reading this thread has brought back so many happy memories for me as a few years ago DH and I spent 8 weeks in France (Paris, the Loire Valley and the South of France) immersing ourselves in the language, culture and food and had an absolutely wonderful time. The trip before that, we spent a couple of weeks in Paris and Chamomix during the ski season. I can highly recommend an extended stay in France. Am green with envy Frozzie. Hope the weather stays good for you.

One day I am going to ride through some French countryside on a bike, with a baguette and cheese in my basket. I'm not sure if I will have other things in my basket like some macarons, cream puffs, croissants, pate, champagne...but I certainly hope so! Its my dream.
