Friday 30th July

All packing like crazy before we drive off to the Dordogne tomorrow!! We’re going to take the ferry to St Malo and then drive drive drive! France is so BIG!!!

Picky Pringle from next door came in today and gave us some of his special maps and names of really nice hotels to stay on the way, he’s got a friend who used to be in an orchestra called the… what was it…oh yes the Annunziata Sinfonia (he spelt it out for me in case I wanted to put it in Diary) who had a house there. He’s a kind man Picky.

His friend played something called the viola. Listened to it on YouTube, it’s a nice sound!

MUST get some flip-flops on the way, got mine out and put them on and one of the straps broke, durrrr!

Dad’s taking his laptop so I can do e-mails, but no Diary till I get back. See you on the 16thAugust then!!
