Getting ready for our villa holiday
Well, we’ve booked a villa holiday again this year – I’m really looking forward to it. I just love the peace and quiet this gives us, especially when we have such a busy life in our shop.
I’m putting together a bundle of stuff I want to do this holiday. The first of all is to make sure I take my dvd of the BBC’s production of Pride and Prejudice – you know, the one which stars Colin Firth! There was something so special about this dramatisation of the book that I don’t think anything else will ever match up.
Then I just have to buy myself a copy of the whole of Keeping Up Appearances which starred Patricia Routledge and Clive Swift (I think!) I know I have missed several of the episodes, but the ones which I saw were absolutely legendary.
What else will I be taking? Well, you better believe I’ll be taking my old and battered copy of the Florida travel map although everyone tells me I need something more up-to-date to cope with the changes in the highways, etc. Maybe that’s a good idea. Anyway, I’ve got some weeks yet, so I’ll probably add more into the list.
