Saturday 24th July

Feels strange being on summer holidays just a week after coming back from Craigalvon Adventure Centre - specially as we're going away next weekend, Dad's actually got everything sorted out nice and early without Mum reminding him a gazillion times!

We're going to somewhere in the south of France called a “gite” (you say “jeet”)which is like an old farmhouse where you can stay. Dad heard about it from someone at work who knows someone else who owns it and you can rent it for not much money. There's even a pool and a games room and a “hot tub” with bubbly water. Mum's looking forward to that.

We're going to drive down in Wilhelmina and stay at a hotel on the way. Can take Wiz 'cos he's got his new dog passport. Showed it to him and he gave it a sniff just to be polite but I don't think he's very interested!
