Back to the mundane

If you keep watching here there will be something worth checking up on.....

Where are Dizzy and Nutty off to next on their great adventure?

With George on her way back to the UK over the next couple of weeks this is the begining of the end for our Letter from America.... What next?

Last visit to France

 


Well the time is coming to stop all this globe trotting. This weekend was my last trip to France to visit those in exile. The girls are due back in the UK on the 3rd Nov and George is due to make a quick trip to ol' blighty next week.
So we mooched off to the north coast for a fantastic morning exploring this beautiful coastline

Fast Ferry

One for the boys - This is the 1000t fast ferry from France doing 45 knots, very fast in anyones book! Two hours from Cherbourg to the Solent.

Mount St. Michele

Well last weekend I had to deliver a plaster cast of a ceiling to a factory in France, this meant driving a very large van via a number of different ferry terminals - I seem to be getting in the habit of embarking on long road trips.
We took the opportunity to visit France's second Icon Le Mount St. Michele. Even Dizzy and Nutty made it to the abbey at the top, though they weren't allowed in.
Only 28 days to go until Georgina can return home!!!

En Route

The two crates in front of the Boing 737 contain Dizzy and Nutty in transit through Germany on the way to Paris.
Having left Vail at midday on Wednesday we arrived in St Malo at 10 in the evening on Thursday with two labradores very bored of traveling.... the beach was calling. Le-Woof le-woof

Goodbye all

Leaving anywhere without a party is not really leaving, so a party was had. We all drank and ate and made general merryment blissfully unaware that there were two bears in the bushes waiting to hoover up all the leftovers... which they dutifully did once we had all cleared off. It was only the next day that one mother of a 4 year old admitted ignoring her son when he had been complaining about a bear being in the garden ! Once clearing the deck of scraps, they proceded to break into the fridge and freezer and help themselves.

Meanwhile Dizzy was having a cuddle with Louise.

See you all, missing you loads....
