Bonjour..... So we moved from Munich to Waldsee, a campsite by a lake where we'd hoped to spend a few days. Sadly the campsite didn't match our expectations - I think it had been built - and left - in the 1970's! In fact I'm not sure it had been mowed or weeded since then either! Our camping pitch was lovely and shady which we needed since it was over 30 degrees but it was small and on the walk to the toilets so every 5 minutes there was someone going past to sa...

Bonjour from France So we are now in Nancy in France at a really lovely campsite beside the river, called Les Boucles de la Mouselle (which I believe means Buckles on the Mouselle (the name of the river) - we have decided to stay here for 5 nights so here's what we have been up to so far….

Bonjour ! Not much news to report from the house sit, we've been having a chilled out time (still raining) so spending a lot of time inside and watching tv and films.

James has been loving having BBC for the sport, and is currently enjoying both the final football games as well as todays Grand...

Bonjour all We've had a lovely time staying at Cap D'Ail which is the next bay to Monaco, in a short 5 day flat sit. It's been really great to come back and explore more of Monaco (highly recommend it as a short break destination) and we have had a gorgeous black labrador to look after - she has been on all of the walks with us, and there have been plenty of those ! We have walked the Cap D'Ail seafront all the way to Monaco twice, it's about 3-4 km each way - t...
