how bare it looks

[trousers]

its funny how empty the cottage looks with the xmas decs down and packed away,also wierd to think that when we put them up again we will be en france

[scarey55]

Can you bring your GYO mags please Trousers when you come ?

Seriously, lets hope it is VERY sooooooon.

I like it when the decorations come down - its a return to 'normality' and a sign that we're moving into the New Year.

Trousers, you'll find Xmas is much different here. Although the garden centres get their stuff in early, many of the supermarkets wont get Xmassy until the beginning of December and as you know, Xmas here is just one day as if new year, not the two weeks that seem to be the norm now in the UK.

Have you decided where you're going to live yet?

Perhaps we need a Grapevine garden party in the summer?

Wow Tony, no Xmas stuff from Sept onwards? Sounds like heaven. Can't bear it when I see Xmas displays creeping out when I'm looking for school uniform for Lauren at the start of Sept. Brings on a Meldrew moment!

Wellie/Trousers, did you get my pm?

If you buy in the areas you mentioned, you'll only be a couple of hours from us (Jardiniere included) as a couple of hours here to get to somewhere is ok usually!

You must let us know when you're coming, I'm sure we could put you up for a couple of nights if you want to visit - could even invite some of the others over for a bit of a do!!

Well mine was all bare and dusty looking. A couple of hours with the vac and polish and it's looking bit better.

The supermarkets are SOOO ahead of themselves all the time: I swear when I went to town on Wednesday I could smell hot cross buns as I passed the supermarket!
