Phew! That's put my mind at rest. Anyway I thought that was the case & will let my friend know.

A friend of mine who lives in France has told me that ex stepchildren can inherit a share in the french property. I find this hard to believe (my husband & I own a house in France but live in the UK at the moment). I had 3 step children who I never met & who probably did not even know about me! My ex is now dead & I have no idea where his children are (they are all in their 50's now). Can anyone enlighten me?

Yes idun, the only reason I persevered with it was because everyone (including son who lives in Sweden) said it was THE book & I felt a certain pressure! I also had trouble with Captain Corelli's Mandolin....

There must be something wrong with me - I found the first book hard going & had to read the first 100 pages before I got into it. I was over 'Vangered' & lost who was who! Hubby has just finished no2 & could not put it down - I will not be reading tis one!!

We have the same problem & after a bit of delving around we have been told that an oil based paint is best. We are going to try Holkham linseed oil paint which carries a 7 Year (i think) guarantee. It is not cheap but we have been advised that it is very good.

Thanks everyone for your replies - it seems he will be OK. If not, we will just have to leave Dad sitting at the docks in St Malo waiting for us on our return!

We are hoping to take the Oldies to France with us in spring (Dad 83 & Mum 84) to visit our pad. But Dad's passport runs out in September. Someone told me that one has to have 6 clear months before expiry in order to travel. Is this so? In view of his age he is reluctant to get a new 10 year one! Thanks for any info

We also live in Brighton & find the Newhaven/Dieppe route an excellent (& fairly) inexpensive crossing which we do several times a year. We shall continue to support this crossing but sometimes have been one of only a handful of cars on board. However, we do not enjoy this crossing when the wind is blowing! PS, still haven't found out how to 'cash in' our frequent traveller points!

Signed as well. We have also booked our tickets for the 2010 Spa GP (they were offering 30% discount if booked before 30th Oct) so hope it goes ahead or we are about 285 euros down the drain!!

Well you must have chosen a duff sailing. We sailed to France on the Rodin on the 9.45am last Friday. We found it clean & free from smells. Hubby had an excellent FEB while I stuck with the continental!. However, we came back the following night on the Moliere - not great, but OK. We must hang on in there with these ferry crossings. We usually use the Newhaven/Dieppe crossing but hear this is now facing difficult time, so we need to support the ferries as much as poss. Use them or loose them!! Robkat

Great - new season just around the corner & hubby has booked a trip to Spa in September & hopefully Lewis will be well ahead by then. I then reminded him that we have a house in the Charente Maritime & could possible drive to Magny Cours.......Just wonder if any of you have done it under your own steam (not an organised trip). What's the parking like, & I would think that all roads leading to get fairly packed. Have heard that facilities i.e. food etc are not great there but would like to hear your comments. Robkat

A work colleague lives within spitting distance of the Transmanche terminal & said he saw the ferry come in yesterday & leave again this morning! Kathy
