The pound is falling faster than you can say ‘Thanks, Chancellor!’ there are early warnings of gales in the Channel this weekend and I’m developing a cold. Yes, it can only mean one thing; we’re off on our hols!
We booked this break earlier in the year when Ma was staying with us. Ma adores France but the last time we were there was just after my dad died and it was a bittersweet time for us as we struggled to find our feet again. Our holiday is tinged with sadness once more as we depart with the knowledge that Ma’s beloved elder sister and now her brother, on the other side of the world, are both desperately ill.
It’s been a very sad and painful time, especially for Ma, but come rain, shine or recession I’m determined that the next couple of weeks will bring some light relief.
And finally…
My Ace Gang are having more than their fair share of woes, too. Here’s to you, my lovely girls, and treasured memories of laughter and sunshine to keep us going until we meet again.

Seriously though have a good time and take it easy on the half marathons.
No disasters this time please and keep out of ALL boats!
Please do stay away from small boats, and very close to delicious food and wine.

Was it something I said?
Back to fake bake and 10 lengths of Chatsworth pool for me......
......tut!
I spent 4 days in Milan in early September and just to feel the warmth of the sun again was magical! Ireland has lost its sun I think
