December 07 we were booked on with a basic ticket Audi A2 but had to go in our Honda CRV in the end.  Absolutely no problem whatsover - just gave our booking ref no and that was that.  

[quote user="Mel"] Forgive me if I have missed this being already answered in the thread, but it is perfectly OK to take plants to France - other than any that are possible carriers of oak disease. There is a definitive list somewhere on this site or, I am sure, you could get one by using Google. As for dairy products, my elderly French neighbour would not forgive me if I didn't arrive with a supply of Extra Strong Cheddar, which is his favourite after his own local goats cheese... [/quote]   Thank you Mel - I have now found and had a look at the other threads and it seems I am not naughty after all [:)]  

Hello Celestine Air France go from Bordeaux to Alicante. http://www.airfrance.co.uk Regards ps - think it might be cheaper to hire a car and drive down though [;-)] !    

[quote user="Pads"]I hate it when people say to me how lucky I am ... I always retort we are not lucky we have worked hard to have what we have , no one has ever given us anything ... but I know in my heart how lucky I am . but I still remember the days when we couldnt afford to buy food and I had 3 jobs to cover the morgage. [:)]     [/quote] I think we all make our own luck and long may it continue

[quote user="Gluestick"] We also take plants (naughty!) between gardens [/quote] Gluestick - Are the plants naughty or are you saying we are not supposed to bring plants from the UK?  I'm naughty too if the latter is the case [:)]

Hello Kim You might have to make a trip to Canada - found this site and they sell Mistelle ! http://www.vergerspedneault.com/en/produits.aspx    

[quote user="Gluestick"] Ms Mounds is apparently a pin-up model [/quote] You want to be careful where you stick the pins - they might pop something [:-))]

Well you lot, it is totally beyond me why you are going on about these ladies - ok they may be or were gorgeous......... But as far as I am concerned it's 'The King of Cool' Steve McQueen who had to be the best [kiss]

[quote user="Cat"] I think it might be just you PZPP, as I'm still getting logged out [:(]  But I'd like to say a big thank you to anyone who is trying to fix it [kiss] [/quote] Ditto - just been logged out [:(]

Great to have you both back - I am now looking forward again to moving totally to France and no need to worry about driving questions [kiss] [:D] [;-)]

Fantastic news

[quote user="Gluestick"] Cos it didn't need cleaning! [:D] [/quote] Cos no man had been there to make it dirty !

[quote user="Cathy"] Ams - it's brightening up now.  Just like yesterday - very wet but followed by glorious sunshine.  In the UK, once it's wet, it's wet all day. [/quote] Did here yesterday too but struggling today ..........   [quote user="KathyF"] With luck the rain will have moved on and it will be nice and sunny when we get to France in 3 weeks time..... [/quote] Ooh I do hope it gets better before then ...............

[quote user="powerdesal"] The impossible always takes time.[:P] [/quote] And miracles a little longer [:D] ............

Hello Ceejay Here's a thread with a similar topic. http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1079038/ShowPost.aspx Hope it helps. AGD

[quote user="powerdesal"] Now I understand, like an  ideal homes kitchen,  all chrome  and  wood,  pristine  and  pretty.   With a dustbin full of take away wrappers. [/quote] Yep - I think my kitchen is definately ideal [:)] but we're not into pizzas and havn't found a good KFC [:-))] down here yet so as for the dustbin full of take away wrappers - none in sight here (thank goodness!)  ............

What a great tonic against the rainy weather [;-)]

[quote user="powerdesal"] Whats the point of a food chopping board if its not actually used for food chopping ?  [/quote] To look good [;-)]

A proper one with end grain.  The oil slowly sinks down into it and it looks great.  I never used to use anything but since using the olive oil it is much better.  I don't actually use it for food preparation strangely enough because it is so lovely - chopping boards from Ikea are used for food and then cleaned with brush and bleach!!

[quote user="Dick Smith"]I thought that was avocado [/quote] Hey that's the colour of a bathroom suite my parents once had [:'(]!

A while ago on a similar thread it was suggested to use olive oil which I now do on my butcher's block and it is fantastic (helps as I buy the oil in Spain on my annual pilgrimage there to avoid the cold here in January!).  http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1096722/ShowPost.aspx

Yep - got to be moved and if all goes horribly wrong we always welcome firewood!  Till February then...............

[quote user="Pierre ZFP"] Cherry trees though are notoriously fickle. [/quote]   Thank you for that speedy response and good link - looks like a job for February then ............ When you say they are fickle - do you mean it's not a good idea to move it?

Terrible news and best wishes to all involved for a full and speedy recovery AGD

Hello all We planted a Cherry Tree earlier this year but have decided it is in the wrong place [:(] !  Any help with regard to the best time to move it would be gratefully received. [8-)] AGD
