SOUTH of FRANCE

For many years Jeff and I have spent our holidays in the South of France, near St Tropez!, we both loved our holidays there, always sure of the sun...although at times the French can be quite frustrating!We owned a mobile home in France which was situated on a very nice campsite, but at the end of the 2004 season we decided to sell it and concentrate our holidays on the boat....although I can't quite give up the sun and still visit a couple of times a year.In memory of the goods times we spent in France we decided to give our Boat a French name and called it 'PaixD'esprit'.....Peace of Mind or Free Spirit.....last year was our first real holiday afloat. We spent 16 days on the River Thames last August and meandered the river as far as Lechlade....14 days of scorching sun (bliss) and 2 days rain....long may the holidays continue!The picture is Old Father Thames who resides at the side of St John's Lock Lechlade.
