Off to France

Hi all!

Well we finally made it over to France. We’re staying at another Siblu resort, but a bit further south than our normal Brittany haunts around Pont Avon and Quimper. We opted for Le Bois Dormant in the Vendee area because we thought the further south you go, the hotter it’ll be. And I got to say, it was the right option! The weather is wonderfully sunny and warm/hot, beautiful long empty sandy beaches, and the resort is, well, typically Siblu………clean, organised and no bling in sight.

Anyway, the girls are all loving it………here they are………

Ruislip Lido July 2010

We went to Ruislip Lido on 11 July.  It surprised me because its only about 40 minutes away at a nice steady drive.  We love it there because its got everything; free parking, a beautiful picnic area, steam train, lovely lake, sanded beach, ducks, play park…ice cream stall…just a great day out…

Aldenham park

On 4 July 2010, we decided to revisit Aldenham Park near Elstree, London. It was nice to revisit and let the kids see the farm animals. Emily and Hannah loved it. We started with a picnic, fed the ducks, went to see the animals then a play in the park…..

Ireland June 2010

We went back to Ireland in June for a week to see Sharon's family and look for a house for when we retire. We were lucky enough to have a great bit of weather while we were over there and, as always, we were so well looked after by the Armstrong's and the Griffith’s.

We went down to Muckross, a lovely little patch by loch Erne in Fermanagh for launching boats, having picnics and whatnot….its a lovely area

Another place that I love is Bundoran in Co Donegal. Have a look at these…

We had a wonderful day out with Denise and Matty at the American Folk Museum. I really recommend a visit if you’re around the Omagh area…

Gulliver's Land

We went to Gulliver's Land on Sharon's Birthday. The girls loved it so much.  It was their second visit, but the first that Hannah had a chance to enjoy herself

More to follow shortly………….
