Hello all, can't quite believe it but I am only six days away from leaving; booked on the overnight ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe next Saturday. Itinerary so far is down to Chartres for the first night then somewhere close to Limoges, then onwards to Carcassone and around Aix en Provence for a few days of well deserved resting in the sunshine ( remember that??) Then over to Corsica for a couple of days then ferry back to Livorno in Italy and down to Brindisi to get the ferry to Greece - need to be there in time to come back for a few days to attend my godson, Tom's wedding on July 20th. After that, well who knows, but when I do I'll let you all know too.


So I am spending the next few days with good pals and then packing Betsy on Friday - lets hope she turns into the Tardis I have so much I want to take! And quite how Irene, Kye and I will manage our sleeping arrangements for the first week.......


Will be popping back when I can, bye for now
