Thanks also for featuring your current read - I have been thinking about reading BP for a while and you have made up my mind! Hope you are having a great week over there with lots of wonderful summer scents - the weather here is really cool and windy today....come back summer.....xSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654149963089015480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-67062341568890199312010-07-14T07:45:16.196+02:002010-07-14T07:45:16.196+02:00Do hope that it is cooling down a little for you a...Do hope that it is cooling down a little for you and that you have found your femme de menage too. Crusoe looked so cute on the motor bike!! Loved seeing the photographs of Corsica. Spent a lovely holiday there around 24 years ago - such a wonderful island the people were more than welcoming and generous. xSemi Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839322243900070800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-5633072651974548752010-07-13T19:45:57.070+02:002010-07-13T19:45:57.070+02:00Thanks for sharing some ideas on how to beat the h...Thanks for sharing some ideas on how to beat the heat. I live in NYC and am having a hard time simply unloading the dishwasher right now, let alone proper housekeeping... The humidity is the most enervating part--is that also true in France? <br /><br />I love the idea of finding a housekeeper like the one pictured--she looks like the kind who would be a "little treasure." But I think I'd feel too guilty asking someone to work for me under these hardship conditions. <br /><br />Thanks for the Corsica pix. I've never been but now I have somewhere to live in my head, until the heat breaks (if it ever does).ML Awanoharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16238451984653386278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-71532425175670663312010-07-13T18:16:07.543+02:002010-07-13T18:16:07.543+02:00Dash, I'm roasting too.

I, however, do NOT have a big house and can revert to doing nothing without much guilt! Good luck! Your Corse post came at exactly the right moment. I want to go there for a few days at the end of the month with some friends. You just sealed the deal.<br /><br />Stay cool...drunkeness and nudity might help even if you can't add irresponsibility to the mix!Delana@dujourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319475424591739125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-31024889577978588612010-07-13T05:33:54.377+02:002010-07-13T05:33:54.377+02:00The photos look beautiful.

I'm reading the journal of an American pioneer woman who is often left to tend the ranch/farmhouse while he men head off doing what men must do - your post sort of merged in with hers very neatly!<br /><br />Also love Corsica which is just as well since I'm married to a native!<br /><br />Have a good week<br />Sharonsharon santoni at my french country homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475608374691177747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-69977637508231340752010-07-12T03:38:39.791+02:002010-07-12T03:38:39.791+02:00Dear Dash,

Was hoping to do Paris, but not alone...<br /><br />The Corsicans have the right idea banning McDoos...I wish Americans had more sense...They are only all about $$$.<br /><br />I too am searching for a femme de menage...they are harder to find than bad romances.<br /><br />Good luck with your search!ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-79367566531616085412010-07-12T02:21:44.882+02:002010-07-12T02:21:44.882+02:00Dear Dash, I loved this post!

It's hard enough just trying to keep cool! You should get someone to help you. I have a lovely lady Sylvia who is wonderful. Before that I had Trish for nine years who was like my surrogate mum. I adored her. She went to Ireland to see her daughter and bumped into her first love and they got back together. What could I say? I missed her for ages though! I had a few dodgy cleaners in between until I was lucky enough to find Sylvia. It is one luxury I would never give up. I really look after my cleaners as good ones are ridiculously hard to find. Ruth's description of hers is hilarious!<br /><br />I've been to Sardinia but never Corsica. It looks absolutely beautiful, especially Calvi. I really want to go now!<br /><br />I watched the Valentino documentary the other night. The bit with the pugs taking up all the seats on the private jet was funny.<br /><br />Thank you Dash, I think you've chosen our next holiday destination xxChristina @ Fashion's Most Wantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583201549332262341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-88674499896826603832010-07-12T01:52:32.945+02:002010-07-12T01:52:32.945+02:00I do hope Corsica becomes a reality soon for you!I do hope Corsica becomes a reality soon for you!Mysticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941269615559681014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-43056011923054067262010-07-12T01:46:40.525+02:002010-07-12T01:46:40.525+02:00McDonald's should be banned everywhere!!McDonald's should be banned everywhere!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08171054999389018364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-16745595178507125732010-07-12T00:02:09.117+02:002010-07-12T00:02:09.117+02:00Oh my goodness, I do not travel much anymore, the ...Oh my goodness, I do not travel much anymore, the house has become our project. The boys hate leaving the dogs and feel very claustrophobic in holiday resorts.<br />But, you have shown me such beauty here I will definitely consider Corsica in the future it looks heavenly .. I may go alone :)<br />The picture of your perfect cleaner made me giggle.. I have a lady that helps me its a long story and I cannot tell it publicly but I should have sacked her ages ago. But if you could see her you would howl laughing compared to your photo.. <br />Picture this Cropped flat hair.. False teeth not worn every visit... cigarette dangling from the lips and psycho eyes and as for conversation she just says .".Yea" before you finish your sentence..<br />God she is here tomorrow :(<br />Love this post xxWildernesschichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204518870992194687noreply@blogger.com
