I wish I'd had parents like that.

It would certainly explain a lot Gordon...but it was actually my other half who was plying my with the bubbles and soft fruits -about 18 years ago. He used to be such a charmer

It had been a very traumatic day Sue -but with a lovely end. We were on our way back from Disneyland Paris to Italy (40°C in the shade -nightmare stuff! I'd suffered a mini-meltdown 2 days before on a Bateaux Mouche on the Seine -not the place to go if you want to cool down!). After an hour on the road I said to husband -we should think about getting some petrol soon -he saw me blanche and without saying anything turned the car round. I'd left my purse and all our money and credit cards in the bedside drawer at the hotel in Disneyland (along with my brain too probably -I'm known for these hole in the brain moments!)...luckily they still hadn't cleaned the room when we got back there!

Went back by a different route stopping in Epernay -gorgeous place -was destiny that we should go there
