Oh so you've met my Mother then? :8855:
My bro-inlaw is staying in a lovely gite with it's own private pools and grounds at the moment, it's more south of France though.
We're going to Saint Jean De Monts, near Nantes, in the Loire region. We go every year, it's a lovely sea-side town. My in-laws have a 3 bed apartment right on the beach, just go across a zebra crossing right outside the door & you're on a fabulous beach, ideal area for children. Me & OH might slip away for a day or two on our own, inlaws will love to take charge of the girls. My mother-inlaw is French, from Paris, so OH is fluent in the lingo which is quite handy
I'm sure you'll find somewhere suitable for your dogs, the French love their pets. I love labs, my favourite dog, unfortunately I've asthma so pets are a no-no. We have a visiting neighbourhood cat that the girls love & we feed, but technically we're a pet-free home.
would love to go there sometime. It makes so much difference when at least one of you can speak the language, we have really had some wonderful experiences over there. I try to learn the language as much as I can....He says that I know a lot of french words but I don't speak them necessarily in the right order! But I must say that my french accent is parfait! :giggle:
That sounds just amazing Issy xxx My husband lived in the South of France working on yachts for the Rich and Famously Rich folks of Monaco pre-ball and chain
Yeah it's brilliant having a fluent speaker around, makes getting around and whatyou want so much easier. My understanding of french is quite good but my accent is poor and I fell particularly intimidated when everyone else is so fuent & flawless. I really should make a more concious effort though when I'm there to parlez francais 
I dreaded each lesson but enjoyed it once it was done, I'm gonna try keep it up in Sept when girls back to school.
God I soooo love pizza. Have you tried the smash pizza, it's quite nice & I make pitta pizzas, kids even like these.
Takes allot of willpower especially when you've had a good workout session xx
That's what helped put me off kilter yesterday, we flucuate sooo much it could put you in bad humour if it's not a result you want. Thinking of stashing mine in the attic & just taking it down on Weds mornings to check before I go to group. Otherwise I'm tempted every morning to hop on & torment myself
Managed to get some time off during the next couple of weeks! Hopefully this lovely weather will hold out. So pleased to see that we are all doing well. I think maybe your gain Issy might be due to water retention, I get it when I don't have enough fluids. You can get water tablets for that. So no more sneaky weighs you're really in the zone now. Well have a wonderful evening all xxx
Hey all! Had lovely piece of lemon sole with broccoli and sautéed new potatoes sw style, so full now.
It makes me smile milkshake that you chose a fictional name Colin one of our cats is called Colin and she's lovely. Yes I said she I got it really wrong when she was a kitten found out the hard way when she had her kittens!
