I just took a look at it too. It's a lovely blog. Thanks for showing it.
Have you seen the blog by A Beach Cottage in Sydney. You might enjoy that too. Actually we did a thread on favourite blogs It might give you some more.

Glad you both are enjoying A-M's blog. Katrina is a follower too

It's a lovely home, presented so well. I wish I had the knack like that (and the $$)

The Chateau in Doral, what was it used for in Rafters? Sam's parents house?

Thanks for the blog link thread. I'll have a look at it and see if I can add to it.

Hi RFC
I just notices the picture of your house- several posts back.
It is gorgeous. I love the windows

. I am a big fan of bay windows- but then you probably guessed that.

I was actually flicking through here trying to decide which of these movie I am going to watch on the weekend. This is the short list:
He's just not into you
The family stone
Young heart
Father of the Bride

Which one?

#1 Father of the Bride 1 and 2
#2 The Family Stone - big tick!

I really struggled watching He's just not into you

Great - thanks for the list.
Maybe I could find time for 2 movies. 3 movies would be pushing my luck

TTD: Yes, Le Chateau at Dural was Sam's parents' house in Packed to the Rafters.

JA: Thanks for compliment re house.
Agree, re movie to watch, Father of the Bride I & II by far the best choice out of all of those. They are real feel-good movies. BTW, have been watching 'A Year in Provence', expected it to be better than it was. However, loved the house, countryside & village, & it gave me a chance to test my French a bit. Do you speak French fluently, JA?

Lol Romantic French Cottage my french is terrible. But surprisingly the only french we needed when traveling there was in a restaurant. How to ask for the menu and the bill, and how to read the menu. Either they spoke perfect english or you could use sign language

.
I haven't seen A Year in Provence for decades so I can't remember much about it. There was a movie recently with Russell Crowe that was filmed there- I heard that was very inspiring.
My video store didn't have any Father of the Bride movies

. So I have got Family Stone to watch this afternoon whilst I draw up a kitchen I am working on.

Romantic French Cottage I think the name of the movie was A Good Year

What did you think of The Family Stone Julie-Ann? Hope you enjoyed it.

The only word I made sure I knew when we went to France was Cheval. I was so stressed about buying horse meat or ordering it

We rented a Chalet in Morzine for one holiday, our land-lady lived downstairs and spoke not one word of English. One night we were having dinner out on the Balcony and she came the stairs and asked us a question. It took half an hour to work out that she wanted to know if we needed a table cloth......
