Well, this time tomorrow we will be well on our way to Northern Ireland – car and trailer packed to the gills with children and everything bar the kitchen sink. My main staple will be a large thermos filled with strong tea – not laced with rum though as I have to share the driving. I decided against the valium…

The kids have their PSP’s and portable DVD player all charged up so they will be entertained during the first eight hour leg of the trip and wont fight with each other (dream on girl…).

My cd’s – Mozart, Wilcher, Bach, Beethoven…all there to provide me with some soothing music to listen to along the way – so long as my 15 year old does not insist on playing his techno stuff. And why is it that everyone only starts talking and yelling when I put a cd on!

It will be probably a week before I get to update this site again but hopefully sooner – our broadband being installed within 24 hours of us arriving at the house (once again, dream on girl…)

So it is goodbye France and back to the land of the living !
