One thing Iv never done or fancied doing is flying on a plane without any company, Iv been on many planes, but always with another adult even if iv taken my children abroad. I'm finding now that is restricting me in my voyage to travel more... Iv got so many of my close friends who live abroad and whilst thank goodness for Facebook and Skype meaning I can stay in touch with them, its not the same as actually seeing them and of course its another place to visit. So I decided a few weeks ago, its going on my challenge list to take the plunge and get on that plane... Iv just met with my Godmother today (AKA auntie Karen) she was also my late mothers best friend. Iv kept in touch with her over the years but only really exchanging Christmas cards and that was when we lived in the same Town. Again thanks to Facebook I was able to track her children down and discover that she is now in France, so emails were exchanged and a good catch up was had over a period of time and she has just visited over here as her second grandson has just arrived, we went for lunch and it was like I saw her yesterday, just non stop gabbing and I told her about my plan to eventually live in France myself and wish I could now really, but its not the right time. So I'm allowed to visit anytime and I absolutely will because I have a feeling that as well as really wanting a break from the UK and would love to spend a lot more time catching up, it could be a life changing trip. Her cottage and lifestyle sound idyllic and affordable for me right now, even if I bought a house and locked it up most of the time.. it could be a start to my life in France forever & apparently there is a shortage of English Estate Agents.... watch this space :)
