I'm off to Brittany today.
I am not taking the laptop: I'm trying to prove to myself that I'm not addicted and I can live without it grafted to my hip. (I can, only because I've got my trusty Blackberry...)
I'm going to read, write, socialise with family, eat too much bread and cheese and drink too much wine.
Back next week.

About Me
- Jenny Beattie
- I moved with my family to Bangkok in July 2005. What do I do? I make hats and costumes; I’ve written articles, a novel and a non-fiction book is underway… I've held a variety of volunteer positions within the expat community. Tea stains is where I write and illustrate the things that consume me: life in Thailand, shop windows, books, cats, making, hats, fascinators, tea and the colour orange.
What am I reading in 2016?
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon
The Year of Taking Chances by Lucy Diamond
Mr Phillips by John Lanchester
Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd
The Ice Twins by SK Tremayne

Jealousy personified over here.
Have a completely brilliant time. X
Ah, ENJOY!!!!
Have a good time in Brittany and eat well. I wonder if you'll be looking for Internet Cafes :-)
Apologies for the two-part comment. When we used to go camping in France, I used to spend ages at newsagents getting copies of "The Independent", because I felt I couldn't be on Holiday without my favourite newspapers. You, of course, may well be able to survive without the Internet for a few days. I know I wouldn't.
I just want you to know that I'm not jealous....not jealous at all!!!
Have fun hon
C x
And there I was coming over to say hello! Have a great time, 'see' you soon! xx
Have a lovely time. And yes, I'm very jealous too!
Hope you're loving it.
Give the BB a hug for me.
(And the kids too, if you can sneak a couple in without them noticing.)
Oooh, have a lovely Gallic time!
(PS: I am jealous! I love France!)
Sounds terrific. Right now in England: dull grey skies intermittently releasing heavy rain. Just thought you'd like to know;-)
Sounds blissful. Enjoy!
I completely believe you, JJ. Honest:)
Seriously, it does the soul good to spend time with family and the odd glass of wine is certainly to be encouraged.
