We had missed the train back to Cannes and you said they never close the doors of the cars so lets try.

I got a foot infection when I came back to Dublin after the sea urchines on Antibes beach. Also Imelda and I decided to cook one night and went to the market and bought mince meat to make spagetthi but after an hour of cooking the meat was still red turns out we had bought horse meat instead. And what about your advertising campagign with the woman and the wheelbarrow?. well you never failed to come up with the most original ideas and laugh memories Imelda and I will never forget!

@James I haven’t yet. And I would be limited to the Summer months with the kids school and all that. I might look into doing a house swap with someone thinking along the same lines to further lower costs. I don’t think I’d venture as far as Argentina though, at least not for the first time 🙂

@Grainne Thanks Gra

Love your entrepreneurial spirit & love of freedom, I’m a bit like that myself!
