Going away for Xmas this year and just not playing the game at all. Yawning, gaping lack of Pete much wider while world full of joy. Leaving very butch burmese cat to deal with burglars. Actually, on strength of burglars' deviousness, will get someone to come and live in as joy of being away likely to be diluted by coming home to break in. Have friend with less than perfect marriage who is threatening to move in if he does ONE MORE THING!!
Mel, know what you mean on the 1st part, sorry about Pete, you're right, it is best to be with ole friends for the festivities.
For many years, a party of us would go to Royston Vasey, or similar. Even Quimper several times, drive, ferry, drive., everyone saying they know a better route
Must be a proper french pre-war ugly pile - cheap, (not some English owned done up job) really weird decor taste in rural Brittany, always good for a laugh, and interest ! - but now all our kids are grown up. Also now - well since the millenium, the bloody burglars are all over the place, and finding house sitters is impossible. Need an aligator in the back garden, a deep pit with trap door at the side, at the front, scorpions who like hiding around the brickwork will do nicely.
