T'is over......

This is it! I have said it before and I say it again...... travel is the way to open your mind and your heart. You have to be open to move along with people and to be able to operate in places...... to be closed means that the world will be closed to you.
I now have so many wonderful friends overseas.... I have had so many kindnesses offered to me. I have learnt about people and I allowed people to learn about me.
Travelling is an exposure of trust and learning.....
I have been to my wish list...... and I now have to develop another one so that next time I go in2014 I need to have a  few over the top desires to fulfil.

Thanks to you all for reading my blog.... yes it does stop as there is no way that you would want to read about my day to day life.... pretty tame...................... and also my type of work is not about blogging!

If you enjoyed my blog I would love you to email me and tell me what you liked and why you liked it......

Farewell!xx

Deja Vu in Abu Dhabi!

Could I really have been here before? HOw long ago was it? How did it feel? Well, seems I am back and the Gate is full.... gotta be a huge plane........ Left CDG this morning and decided that next time, it was not a priority to fly into Paris.....find another French city!

We will be loading soon and heading back in time.. does that make me younger?
There will be one ,ore update before this blog will be history... and I will probably write it this weekend.......
Thanks to you all for reading it...
It has been so much fun!

Au Revoir a France demain!

So here we are...... Pullman HOtel at CDG Paris. Caught the train this morning at 11 a.m. from Perigueux to Bordeaux then to Paris CDG. Long trip  but great train in first class! A woman sitting in front of us had two tiny puppies - poodle x fluffy things..... tiny tiny doggies so at least in the current state of doggie deprivation , we got to have a cuddle! So different coming up from Bordeaux to Paris... flatter land and much more almost largish acre farming.......

However.... yesterday in the John household..... we went off to Brantone and Bordeilles. IN Brantone, this small village, part of the town is built into a rock cliff and it lies along a river ...

Nice night of farewells last night... slow beginning this morning!!!!!

And here we are!
It is our last night in France
So much fun!
So many people!

And you must see my fabulous silk Italian hat!

Dordogne and .....

Am back! You all thought I had disappeared! Here we are in the Dordogne with John and Susan! What a beautiful area this is. Had an interesting trip up on the train from Avignon to here - Perigueux in the Perigord! Had several heroes along the way who just greased the pathway and made life very simple and easy for us... especially when it comes to moving around  with enormous cases full of stuff! Mind you the stuff is excellent..........
So here we are in this tiny little hamlet 25 minutes from Perigueux, surrounded by green fields and forests... the place here is so lush and green . Has not been as hot as in Uzes where we almost melted...............

Yesterday travelled to a place called Aubeterre, where we spent time in a cathedral , begun 2000yrs ago, and continually added to - it is a carved out of a huge rock!.... and it is awe inspiring - nothing like this.

Part of the Cathedral

Haven't got enough battery to write much more...
We will be here until Tuesday when we head off to Charles de Gaulle......... and prepare to return on Wednesday......
Will write again soon.......
