So, a week today I'm off to Pierrefeu for a long-awaited break. And for a fortnight too!
Beyond the standard suitcase-full of pluggery (who knew so many gadgets needed charged?), there are requests trickling in for UK treats for ex-Pats in PF. Such as:
- Jelly for Suzie who seems to have a yen to make some kind of traffic light confection, and has only got red.
- Snacks and light reading for Lu, who's had pleurisy. Thinking twiglets, wine gums and Grazia, Hello etc etc
- Maybe a little dress or something girly for little Arielle. Note to self - how big is she now? Last time I looked she was about two.
And I suppose I'll have to take some running gear for early morning (pre-heat!) runs down in the vines so that I'm semi-ready for the Race for Life at the end of June.
On a dreich, damp Bank Holiday Saturday, I'm counting the days...

Having been denied my Spring long weekend in Pierrefeu because of the pesky ash cloud, I wallowed in some old pictures from last year and found a few to show the work on the facade. So here's a wee look at the before, during and after on the front of my little 'maison de village'.
