Holidays and Houses

Well I can't believe how long it is since my last post! Last week we were in Tunisia and this week we're moving house. Tunisia was lovely, I've not been there before and we went on the recommendation of Marks brother, staying at the same hotel as he did last spring. It was a good decision and they knock spots off us when it comes to service. Nothing is too much trouble and they are so friendly. The weather was fine although it rained a bit the first couple of days, but it didn't stop us doing anything and the rest of the week was warm and sunny. There was a terrific storm the second night and the next day we walked along the beach for 2 1/2 hours to Sousse. We saw loads of tiny jellyfish with pink middles and wierd looking seaweed pods. Some palm trees had been washed away along with concrete hotel terraces. The locals said it has been the worst winter they can remember. We also saw millions (well lots) of date palms Yummy and orange trees. I'm glad to report no disasters befell me, nothing, no dropped food, no falling over, no getting lost what's happening, oh no I hope I'm not growing up??!!! I haven't said much about the new house but I have been cleaning it ALL DAY! It's only a modest 3 bedroom place but we have to move into as it is and then decorate as and when, but today it felt like a mansion. However it is now VERY CLEAN and really not bad at all so I'm looking forward to next week when we finally get to move into our own home........
