Giving in to that nagging!

HI and welcome to my blog!
'At last', I hear you cry!

Yes, I have finally given in to all those clients and friends who have been nagging me for so long and have created my blog. A bit late, I know, but with a business and family with 4 kids to manage, time is of the essence!

The summer is coming to an abrupt end here but I did finally manage to get a one week holiday in late August, when I headed off to Moissac in the south west of France to spend a glorious week on the easyvie, a hotel barge with a difference! No set itineraries, no set times to be at the table, no set times to go to bed , great company and of course, plenty to eat and drink!

To all of those who know me as a workaholic, I did actually find a couple of afternoons for sunbathing, but have to confess to taking my iphone and pc with me.

Moissac is a beautiful, unspoilt small town on the banks of the Tarn and the Canal. I spent plenty of time exploring the numerous boutiques, visited the glass blower, and relished the market where fresh produce was really fresh, probably picked from the garden that morning in many cases.

Or course, the hardest part of the holiday was having to come back to normality and work. As a way of bringing part of the region back with me, I tried to adopt another dog to take home, but Bouba, my partner, seems to think that one hound is more than enough so I had to make the journey home alone! 7 hours later I was back in the office and at last able to say that I have visited the south west of France, an area that has been on my wish list ever since I became involved in cruising 8 years ago.

Isn't she just so inviting?
I enjoyed my stay so much that I would have been tempted to stay but my current clients were due to arrive, so I had to vacate. The Hasleps are now enjoying glasses of rose wine with Sue and Tom and remembering how to relax while on holiday! With just two weeks holiday per year, they definitely deserve the easyvie!
