Penniedarling

 TEAM-G have just been visiting our friend Marie-Therese in France.  Marie-T lives in Castellane, just one and a half hours north of Cannes and has her own hotel.

We first met Marie-These back in 1977, she was the teenage Grand daughter of a friend of ours friend and wanted to learn English.  We were back living in Guildford with three little children (6, 4 & 1) and loved the thought of having a young French girl living with us for a few weeks. 

We loved Marie-T so much she came back the next year.  

We kept in touch and when Nerys was 18 we sent her to the UK and France for 12 months to work and travel.  She started off as a Nanny for M-T's son Stephan.  When Tomos was 18 we sent him off on the same adventure, Gwilym and Emily visited next them Briony a few years ago.

When we went back to live in the UK for the third time in 2006, we surprised M-T by rocking up to Castellane out of the blue... M-T had done this to us about 10 years before by just walking in the sliding door at Turramurra, her husband was racing in the Sydney to Hobart at the time.
