After making sure umpteen times he had everything, Ds1 has gone to France!  Well that is he left on a coach at 11pm last night, and will be sailing 8:30am, so he should have set sail by now!  I wonder if he has sea legs, or whetherhe'll be sea sick! lol, I never thought of that!  We made sure he had plenty to eat for supper last night, and he was sooooooooo excited!  He was supposed to be at the school for 10:30 last night, dh was there with him at 10:20!  It was all we could do to stall him til then.  I've no idea how long it will take himto get over there,I don't even know if the weather was favourable to sailing!  I am so excited for him, but am sat here wondering what he's doing and if he slept well on the way down! 

How do I find out about ferries and stuff? Looking forward to Sunday when he's home and telling us all about it!  I am also sat here wondering if he will have the nerve to try snails and frogs legs!  He wants too, and I told him it's always worth trying them even if he doesn't like them!  Bless him.

Sorry I'm waffling now, again thanx for listening ladies!

He's not likely to ring again Chris, he only said he rang cos he said the teacher told them too! pmsl

Oh I so want to be a fly on his shoulder to see what he is seeing!  I wonder how many pics he will take!  I will download some of them after for all to see!
