does anyone want the use of a luxury apartment in france (one and a half
hours drive from calais) as a swap for tidying up my garden 3 miles from the apartment, nothing drastic i can show pictures of it, just weeding,hedge trimming and a general spruce up and rubbish sorting, it could be an ongoing thing every year if required, look at the websites below to see the area. http://www.informationfrance.com/dis...hp?town_id=138 http://www.theotherside.co.uk/tm-her...wns/hesdin.htm |

And thank you for the compliment. I've always been a big believer in a healthy dose of vulgarity. It beats curmudgeonly any day, IMO. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (email address on website) |

I can't say it properly though ) On the subject we're having difficulties with finding an accomodation around St Ives from the 6th September till Sunday 10th. We've found a beach cottage on the Riviere Towans inches away from Hayle beach and it's perfect for dogs and kids but they haven't got back to us and I'm off on leave in less than 2 weeks for 3 weeks. I wondered if you would know someone around St Ives. We'd be happy to pay for the whole week even though we cannot be there before the Wednesday 6th. We don't want to camp because we need to look decent on the 7th and part of the 8th as we're meeting with local authorities people and various other guests as part of our work. Caravans don't take dogs .... it's getting rather complicated. ps. I've already received our tickets to see Macbeth at the Minack theatre ) |

Caravans don't take dogs .... it's getting rather complicated. I'm sorry but we don't know anyone in that area at all. Have you tried Googling or putting an ad in a local paper? There's this company: http://www.english-country-cottages.co.uk or this one, which is based in Devon but has cottages in Cornwall: http://www.toadhallcottages.com/browse.php snip -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (email address on website) |
