.... an early start from Romford .. .. .. ... ...

...... and Joan me and the Sheilas were off through the channel tunnel to France and a Small City called Reims - the home of ~Champagne.

I was all booked in the last two days - hotel - two meals out - car insurance and off we zoomed.
Three different iPods in the car player ..........and ~~~~~ zoom along almost empty motorways and ......
One and a half hours to the Chunnel, 45 minutes in the tunnel, and then about two and a half hours to hmmmmm.
The motorway had been painted either side by Jack Frost and we were treated to silver lined trees on each side .............. thanx to the minus four ........

We stopped only once for the loo and a conference call I was involved in for next week - and bingo!

Ten minutes in the Hotel and we were off to the Cafe de Palais were we sat in historical surroundings and sipped a bottle of local brew together.

Outstandingly beautiful is
just the non stop conversation and catching up between the four of us.

We flow so beautiful.
Level Five family we are.
So good to be together ....... the Sheilas will both be in Miami next week - so this is heaven on legs
- just loveitloveitloveit.

I don't know if you have met the Sheilas but they are our adult children - now friends.
