mint Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 To all the ladies on the forum:I'm looking for a companion to go on a walking holiday with in Nice and the surrounding areas.No, I won't be getting us lost because we will be going on a guided walk with British people. It will start on 21 March, will be for 8 days, and will cost £383.The downside is, you will be sharing a room with me but, hey, look at the price, bargain basement or what!It will be breakfast and dinner included and we will be expected to find our own way to Nice. If you are interested, you can, of course, stay with me for a night or two or even 6 or 7 and we will make our way to Nice by car, train, plane, whatever and we will have a fabulous time.Look, you can't go to Nice and spend 7 nights in a 3 star hotel for that money under your own steam; nevermind the walk sto be included.So.............who's up for it? Cendrillon? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Randy is free, she says. Well, that means 'between men'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wools, I thought you were in Belgium! I'd love Randy to come, but I'm a bit nervous about her behaviour. You'd know better than anyone else that, much as one loves Randy, you've got to be careful where you take her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Great Bobo, I wouldnt take her anywhere after what she did to the male elephant at the circus. Poor elephant has had to be put in a field far from human beings now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odile Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Sweet I would absolutely love to come. We might (if all goes well) be actually moving to the Jura end of March, and that means no holidays planned in near future. Really hope you find a walking friend and I would love to another time. Hope you will come and walk with me in the Jura one day. My very best wishes xxOdile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Odile, dear Odile, I am so happy that your move is happening!I will, of course, come to walk with you in the Jura. But I'm also rather keen to learn some cross country skiing, that is, if I'm not completely against any place that is actually COLD!!!!!!!!!!

mint Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wooly, it's not a sexist thing, honest!You can't come as you're a man and I'm looking for a female companion. And, Randy, you know, I'd have Randy at the Chateau anyday but I can't say that I want her with me on a walking holiday.Soree...............................eeeee!

odile Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 those knickers would just get in the way, hey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 You know about the knickers then, Odile?But, why don't they have a crutch where other people's knickers have? I can't understand it myself.Meanwhile, can someone PLEASE say they'd come walking??????????????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 [:(]Sorry I can't make it. I have sent you a PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Cendrillon, thank you.It's just that I have read a couple of books about the Provence (Regain by Giono and La Gloire de Mon Père by Pagnol) and I thought it would be nice to see the Provence of Chagal, Cézanne, etc............Notice I don't mention Peter Mayle though I daresay his book is mildly entertaining?

cooperlola Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would have definately come if I'd been able to walk, Sweets.[:(] Another time perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 If you're serious Sweets, I'll ask my sister. She's a great one for walking hols and I'm sure would like a bit of company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Pierre, thank you so much. I MAY have found someone; to be confirmed in the next day or two.Will definitely let you know either way as I so appreciate your willingness to help.Oh Coops, look, we'll do a Thelma and Louise and go off in your new car, OK?

Unless there's a cancellation, then it's no go.If your sister has anything specific in mind, I'm free after, say, the next 4 weeks (waiting for OH to recover his walking legs).Or, cycling is also a possibility. France would be nice but I'd consider anywhere in Western Europe, including the UK.Thanks again, Pierre.Anyone else has any ideas, suggestions?

Pierre ZFP Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm sorry your trip is off Sweets, it sounded like you were really up for it. I phoned my sis only to find that she was at Gatwick waiting for a flight to Cuba!! I'll talk to her when she gets back and see about the possibility of walking/cycling/donkey hols. No idea what the response might be though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Merci, Pierre. You're right, I could have done with the trip.Just been a bit low and fed up with the winter and missing the UK, etc.Nevermind, the days are getting longer and I am out and about with the dog instead of cooped up indoors being a pain in the butt for my poor OH.
