They were wonderful and we enjoyed it all tremendously!! ( yes I loved the cider!) We are still exhausted, having gone to a class reunion the day after we arrived home, but the memories and love we received was wonderful! And yes Ms. Three is adorable, as is her mother!

My opinion could have been coloured by finding just the right pair of sensible yet pretty leather shoes for photography work :)<BR/><BR/>You are a font of interesting knowledge ... a wifi hotspot listing wasn't something I had thought to search but thank you, I'll know what to do in the future.<BR/><BR/>The trip ... well we knew our American friends were coming for quite a while, and we knew we wanted to wander in France but we put together a last minute kind of itinery ... hence the weakness in our gite booking.<BR/><BR/>It was fun though and it was action-packed. We all enjoyed France and we came home exhausted.Di Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-38762972073957147042007-09-16T00:11:00.000+02:002007-09-16T00:11:00.000+02:00Sounds like you had a great time ;-) I spent a cou...Sounds like you had a great time ;-) I spent a couple of hours in Rouen when I visited Normandy last August. <BR/><BR/>WiFi in the French countryside is indeed non-existent (a 31,000 French hotspot listing is available at <BR/>http://www.wirelesslink.fr/<BR/>public/wlink/html/fr/hotspots/) <BR/><BR/>Anyway, it was fun reading how much you all enjoyed yourselves.<BR/><BR/>I still wonder whether this trip to France was long planned or just happened to be a break you all needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-8025507767985455322007-09-15T22:48:00.000+02:002007-09-15T22:48:00.000+02:00:) That's no policeman ... he's a businessman in a...:) That's no policeman ... he's a businessman in a suit and I thought his socks were so incredibly cute.
