    Vic, you know when you said that sometimes you feel like everyone else has their lives together and you sometimes feel like you don't? Well, let me be the first to say that you guys are living perfectly imperfect authentic lives! You are healthy, honest, jovial, realistic, hard working and above all, loving! I think everyone at some point in their lives feel like they are sort of floundering, but in reality they are far from it! You three have each other, and that is really all that matters! ...anyway, just wanted to say that you guys all look so well, and I thank you for taking us along on your trip to France. William is getting expressive and it's adorable! I could just see Jo's mind working overtime trying to figure out if she could replicate some of those pastries on Holly! lol xxx ... Fab Airb&b btw....!

    Hi Jo and Vic, and not forgetting Wills.......I am Debbie writing this not David ......... you all looked like you were having a really good time and Jo, I thought you looked lovely in the skirt and top you are wearing it is so nice not to be wearing scarves and hats and wellies. The spur of the moment kyack trip looked lovely, I also thought that Vic could be featured in a calender with the pose he pulled against the french windows, I hope you don't mind me saying this but you all looked like you were having such a brilliant time, do it while you can thats what I say.
    We are one of your followers we love your blogs and we never miss them so much that we pencil you in when we are on our holidays too.
    Take care thanks for your brilliant blogs too look forward to the next one. I am Debbie writing this not David. xxxxx

I love Williams smile & his laughter. The scenery on the canoe ride was stunning & looked so peaceful. That Bnb was amazing. I love the patio & garden. My weekend is going to be watching netball games & the rugby championship final & I am making Orange & poppy seed muffins & banana pikelets later. I hope you have a good week in France guys.
