A four day break away in the middle of France, fantastic. The trip out there on National Express and Ryan Air, less so.

Farm House

It was great to get out into the countryside, get some fresh air and take some shots. We were staying with Nicky’s parents. They own a farm house near Poitiers, but when I say farm house, it’s more, manor house, with adjoining servant’s house, old blacksmiths forge, and numerous dilapidated barns.

Danni

Mostly it was nice to wander round the country side with the dogs, but we had a trip over to La Rochelle, and a wander though the aquarium there. They even had an equivalent of Lewes, sort of, with the village of Parthenay.

Finally gotten round to putting up some of the photo’s from my holiday to Rome in November. I’ve settled on only 12 pictures from the few days I was there, but I think they show pretty much most of the trip.
