Lovely things

Bad blogger....not though anyone will notice!!!!
Not much happening....apart from rain.
Done a bit of scrappin - two layouts in as many days........someone pick my sister up she may have fainted!!!!!

One day your life is going on its merry way, along the 'normal' direction. You think all is well. Then one day your bubble bursts and you come back to reality and realise that all was not well, far from it. When you wake up from that it is like having a slap across the chops, a kick up the but and a thump in the guts and you wonder and worry where you will be going next. I shouldn't have worried, I ended up in a much better place..........here.

BACK TO REALITY.......

...big stylie!!!!!!

We are back from our European road trip, back to reality, back to work, cooking, cleaning.....get my despair?!!

First stop was Holland to join up with the rest of the crew - Jo, Harry, Sam, Kryn, Bert and Corrie. Then a 2am start to Lake Guarda, overnight stay (with a spot of icecream!!!mmmm!!!) and then to our 'home' for the next week - Villa San Donato. The villa was as good as we expected....if not better, an isolated converted church on a dirt track road surrounded with beautiful scenery, olive groves and a private pool. A day was spent at S Gigmiano, one at Florence and one at Sienna - all beautiful places and we had great weather - up to about 37 degrees.......don't worry my mum was keeping me in check with the rain back in the uk!!!! Lots of fun in the pool playing 'splish splash' with Sammy, great food and lovely ice cream....have I already mentioned that??

England-France-Belgium-Holland-Germany-Austria-Italy-Switzerland-Back to France-back to England, total driving of 2500 miles, give or take. Granted some of the countries were fleeting visits.....ie we only stopped at the odd service station but we were travelling in a convoy on the way there and we were at the back!!! On the way home we took it a bit slower and managed to take in a bit more of the scenery, Switzerland was picture postcard in most places and we had a laugh trying to get through a small french village at 12pm....with no signposts??!! Good job we like adventures....sure beats a plane ride for having fun!!!
