Happy Holidays!

I would like to wish all my followers who celebrate Christmas the very best over the holidays!

I am going into blog hibernation until well into the new year, but I will be back with both 'My Life in the Charente' and 'My Life Before Charente' sometime in January.  Meanwhile I will try to keep the PhotoDiary going when possible.  We are off to Casablanca for Christmas and we hope to see a bit of sun and find the weather warmer than it is likely to be in France!

Take care everyone; see you all after the holidays

Joyeux Noel

    Fabulous Diane - wish I could come with you .. though there are probably other gooseberries over there!

    The break sounds wonderful and one that I'm sure you both need after all the work of moving across the Channel and getting the house sorted out ... just enjoy

    Happy happy Christmas and New Year ... cheers Hilary
