A full house


We have a full house this weekend. Peter and Carol arrived by train from London on Thursday. The total journey took about 7.5 hours, with a two hour break in Paris. From London town centre, to Nimes town centre, that's pretty impressive and certainly worth considering. Even more so if you changed trains at Lille and avoided the journey across Paris. The 360 miles journey from Paris, with one stop, takes exactly 3 hours which is also very impressive. As the double deck TGV thundered into the station at Nimes, only 3 minutes late, you really have to admire the timekeeping over such a long distance.

Harold and Elizabeth arrived Friday after a 4.5 hour car journey from near Bordeaux to meet up with P&C. Hence the full house. I think my diet just got blown out of the window!

We met Lynne (and a recovering Bryan) at the market in Sommieres this morning and Lynne noticed that I'd lost weight. Don't you just love people like that?
