Just had keys handed over to cottage at Lake Como at a 'service station' in France. Very disappointed that we aren't "crashing out" on due date. My dog is even more disappointed - she was looking forward to being challenged as an illegal immigrant and then showing her 'settled status'. You hope the...

Where is it you're based, AT? I have a business trip up the west coast soon. If I'm in the area I will pop in. I'm Isle of Skye, about an hour from the bridge :) There's a bridge to Skye? Good God!
