Viva la France!

I haven't blogged for a while but I find talking about my personal life on the internet where anyone can see to be very difficult. However, my life is taking a very positive turn and I want to share some of the fun things that are going on with you and anyone who is interested.

I recently came back from a week long holiday with my family, not Toni unfortunately but my mum, dad, both sisters and their husbands. Now if you know my mother the fact that she hired an actual chateau with about a zillion rooms and acres won't come as a surprise. It was absolutely wonderful, I just wish I could have spent a bit of time there with Toni.

I am pretty rubbish when it comes to these things and so I have no photos except this one.















How pretentious can you get? I loved it.

While I was there I did a little Geocaching. Now for those who don't know what I am talking about, Geocaching is a worldwide game. It involves people taking a container and placing at least a notebook inside and then hiding it somewhere. Now this can be just about anywhere in the world. The game is to find these 'caches'. In order to do so the hider will get the GPS co-ordinates of the site and post it on the Geocaching website. Once found you then sign the book and can either leave something in the box, or take any objects out as long as you replace them with something of at least equal value.

It is so much fun. I got into it when I found an app for my iPhone, what did I find? The nearest one to me was about a quarter mile from my house! Toni and I love this even though we are new. This gave me an idea to log my caching antics here. Its better than talking about my life online huh? Here are some pictures from my first few finds:

This is the first cache that Toni and I found:



















This is the second cache we found later that day, this time with my mom and dad:



















My mom and I looking for that second cache














And finally this is my mom with the cache we found in France, I may be sad but I think that is seriously cool:
