I have a lot of photos that I have not used, so hopefully I will have enough. The news from a 2 up, 2 down in the UK, with noisy neighbours is non existent!! As soon as I arrive I just start looking forward to the end of March and my return to France:)<br /><br />I have visitors arriving 29 August for 10 days. I will have my work cut out during that time to keep up everything so the blog may suffer for a few days then as well.<br />Diane xDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782670749466305626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-75038438140560321612010-08-05T13:32:39.401+02:002010-08-05T13:32:39.401+02:00We did thanks now frantically trying to catch up a...We did thanks now frantically trying to catch up all round. I bet you are pleased to at least have a camera if not your own, important to us bloggers. I am sure October seems a long way off to you but the time passes so quickly. I do not like the thought though of winter approaching, do you continue blog from the UK, You have always been in France since I started following you earlier this year.

Carry little or no money. I am a born gambler, but if I go to a casino or horse racing, I put in my pocket what little I can afford to do without. If I win it is wonderful, if I lose it doesn't really matter as I cannot go over the amount I have limited myself to.

I cycle in the UK country on my own quite happily during the day, but I have to say I would not go out at night alone like I do here. I would probably think twice about it though if I lived in a large city.

Most people arrive with their cars full of items, and then yes, either sell out of the boot (trunk) or put up tables next to the car. Of course there are the ones who arrive with vans full and have several tables! It is simply a case of each country have their own names for these sales I guess.

The police stopped a car and told the driver to get out and take off his boots. They were duly checked and he was allowed to continue. At the next police check he asked the guy in charge why he had been asked to take off his boots. The answer was 'silly fellow I told him he must stop every car and check the boots'. <br />DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782670749466305626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-4438534871950656172010-08-03T17:53:12.264+02:002010-08-03T17:53:12.264+02:00I laughed when I saw your description, a bric and ...I laughed when I saw your description, a bric and brac sale.
