    the house is gorgeous - so pretty, is there parking?

    And you have 2 spare bedrooms so plenty of room for visitors - we are 3 hours away :D and its a bit of the world we have not explored before :rotfl:
    And you are only 2 hours from Southampton so a good stop over for anyone looking to break their journey up on the night before :D

    It says the parking is good but its full by 8.00 in the morning but I can park at my house if need be. I already have a booking from my daughter and grandaughter to come and stay. Expecting lots of visitors and I would be thrilled to meet some of the Elite. Such and exciting week for you!

    Check COS for more alcohol freebies

    Free desperados (M only)
    Free Birra Moretti (S, A, M)
    Free Kronenberg (M only)

    Hopefully they all pay out a profit in Scotland like the Old Mout/Amstel

    £2 back on Kronenberg on CS too

    at least with this sort of packing you just need to make a massive mound on the dining room table with clothes for all occasions and plenty of home comforts - assume you are driving down?

    No, not driving. The cost of the ferry/tunnel, fuel and tolls is not at all mse:eek: Plus, I don't fancy a six hour drive through France.
    It worked out so much cheaper and quicker to fly, even with the cost of the flights and fuel both ways to the airport here. Friends are collecting me at the other end. I'm hoping for a bit of sun while I'm there. My friend told me they'd had a couple of days last week at 23 degrees, beautiful blue skies and no wind. Cold at night though.

    typical - we only went as far as Aldi and back and a bit late in the day now to get OH to go out again ....
