Happy Anniversary Mummy and Daddy!

Today is Mummy and Daddy’s 4th Anniversary. Jeez time flies, well so they say anyway. Daddy reackons it feels like a lot longer, and I’m not so sure if he means that is a good thing or a bad thing?? Well, at least he says it with a smile on his face!

To celebrate we took a trip to France over the weekend! Mummy found a good deal on some flights, and managed to convince Daddy that we should go! What fun we had! We went to a town called Bergerac. Mummy was also able to practice the French she had learnt at Warrington Collegiate last year and this year. I think she needs to learn a little more ...

Bergerac was a very pretty town. Mummy found us a great hotel in the centre of the old town which was close to everything. So we did lots of walking around the town. Mummy and Daddy made sure they wore me out good and proper, and let me play in the park and on the banks of the river. I also ran all about the place. Well, it did mean I slept very well each night, which they were thankful of!

Every morning we went to the local boulangerie (that's a bakery!) and we got fresh croissants and other delicious pastry delights for breakfast. None were as good as the first day though. I think if we'd been there for a 4th morning, we might not have had the same breakfast!

On Monday afternoon we went exploring a little into the area around Bergerac. We visited Chateau Monbazillac. Monbazillac grapes are particular to the region (the most well know type in the area, although there are 13 specialty types in the Bergerac region), and make a very nice wine which Mummy enjoyed sampling. Daddy preferred the French beer though! The chateau was fun, lots of big rooms for me to run around in, and I also had fun running around the gardens and amongst all the grapes!



On the final day we went to a nearby village. It was a lovely little village, but unfortunately not a whole lot to see ... we also arrived just as everything was closing for their afternoon nap time, but luckily there was one restaurant that was still open for orders! After lunch we found a park for me to play in, and then it was back to Bergerac, and back to the airport!

At the airport Mummy almost made a big mistake ... she had wine in her hand luggage ... oh no! Thankfully, and only just before the suitcase was about to disappear, she realised and was able to put it in the suitcase. Phew, she would've been very unhappy if she had to leave it behind!
