My French is ok....I've managed every year for the last 20 or so, but that was on "vacation"....being based in France for months at a time may prove a little different. I am hoping to do a little better than just get by, but I dont expect philosophical conversations will happen too often at first !.JJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449652020751269674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926851391080970240.post-53574215965845031272012-04-08T16:07:34.357+01:002012-04-08T16:07:34.357+01:00What a busy time Janice, and how lovely to help wi...What a busy time Janice, and how lovely to help with the choosing of the wedding dress.

Anyway, that has gone now, all I have left to do is the packing, cleaning and cooking....oh well, next week I shall just sit and enjoy the view from the terrace in Caunes.

I couldn't help but think of all the moments in life you have represented here, Janice; Jodie selecting a wedding dressed while little Izzie is napping nearby with Jess adoring her. That's a picture to pull out many years from now for Izzie. Her first foray into the delightful chaos of wedding dress selection. <br /><br />Look at that Liam. What a handsome young lad - and fishing already. <br /><br />Packing! Yuck! We're just trying to get ready for three days up north, and that has my head spinning. Moving back and forth between two house would have it rolling on the ground. Enjoy! The best of Easter wishes for you, Janice, and I can't wait to read more about Caunes.lifeonthecutoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657395265006688388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926851391080970240.post-83685087380419733952012-04-06T13:32:55.328+01:002012-04-06T13:32:55.328+01:00Hi Janice,

How lovely to have a wedding to look forward to as well as your daughter's 21st birthday. <br /><br />What fun to be based in France for the summer, with a return to the UK part-way through to reassure the authorities you haven't taken up residence. :-) I look forward very much to your posts about the experiences.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926851391080970240.post-83976750600770486822012-04-06T12:47:06.676+01:002012-04-06T12:47:06.676+01:00I think your extended family arrangements are wond...I think your extended family arrangements are wonderful - you are both very lucky and definitely deserving of all the perks it brings. <br />I think you will have an excellent time out in France - though I somehow think you might not be alone for very much of this time, even with Mark popping back and forth! <br />Busy, busy, busy - then REST!!! Sounds great to me.
