| Our temporary home in the country outside Reigate |
We hit another jackpot with our third house sit. We are watching three well-behaved dogs - two dachshunds and a Spaniel - for a lovely couple in Reigate, England about 20 miles outside London. The 1800s four-bedroom house has been refurbished inside and out but maintains its English country charm. We're about a mile from Reigate, an upscale community with plenty of pubs and shop.
Our charges require one long walk in the morning - in the snowfall today! - and three meals a day. They're a fun group and there are woods and hilly climbs to enjoy. The temperatures are forecast in the 30s (F) the rest of the week with more snow. We'll still get out to see the sights, and come back to a nice wood fire in the hearth.

The flight from Montpellier to Gatwick Airport was about 1 1/2 hours. Paulita swore I said "merci" twice after arriving. I'm sure to say "cheers!" on our return to France in three weeks. Our first stop there will be two days at a beachfront apartment on the Atlantic coast near La Rochelle, then two days in Paris to pick up a friend from Columbus before returning to base camp in Aix-en-Provence.
Cheers!
Darling dogs!
ReplyDeleteI have that "finally got the lingo" lag too. My mind comes out with bonjour AFTER we get back home to the U.S..
ReplyDeleteWhen we were in the Netherlands, France and Italy and then journeyed back through the three countries I kept mixing up my thank you's. I would have to stop and think what country I was in.
