Grab Your Pillow.....
DAYS AWAY, SHORT STAYS AND HOLIDAYS IN FRANCE AND BEYOND
Grab your pillow……we’re off!! We’re Janine and Alison, an English couple who met way back in 1995, but didn't reconnect again until 2009! Since then, we’ve not spent a night away from home without our pillows…..hence the name of our blog!
“Grab your pillow” is one of the last things we always say to each other before we set off on our jollies (aside from 'have you locked the door, is the oven off, did you close the windows......etc!)
We currently live in SW France in Tarn department 81 and work as Estate Agents. We also have a gite which we rent out for summer holidays. Maybe we can also help you find your dream life in France?
Come join us on our days out, weekends away, sailing, cruising, camping holidays and more, where we will share tips on what to see, where to stay and our experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly!
