I've hardly started my packing list but I've got my wheels!
Getting to our holiday house in Provence by train from Tuscany proved to be impossible. If I was going to get there at all I was going to have to drive. Problem was I didn't think the old Space Star would make it - she certainly wouldn't make it a pleasure. So...... La Bianca, a little diesel engined Fiat Cinquecento, has come into my life.
Now I'm feeling really confident about the drive - solo on the Autostrada and through all those horrible tunnels between Italy and France. First time! Well I'm feeling sort of confident.... almost....
Now I just have to work out how much art material I can squeeze into her dainty boot. And for those of you wondering, no, I'm not sure if Dermott (our Old English Sheepdog) is going to be able to squeeze into the back seat. But that's a question for another day because he's not coming to Provence, it's cats and girls only and apparently he prefers Italian food and he knows he'll get fed all sorts of junk treats while I'm away.
I'll be back with my packing list shortly.
