Is it June yet?
We're going to Corsica! WHEEEEE!!!!! I've booked it an we're GOING!!!! I may be a bit over-excited.
I have a particular love, verging on a passion, for Corsica. Why Corsica in particular? No idea. It's awfully pretty, with jolly nice beaches and spectacular mountains and it's warm etc etc, just like a lot of holiday destinations, I guess. But it goes way beyond that. When I arrive I feel like I've come home; when I leave I cry. Always. Odd behaviour for a part Scots, part Irish Brit without a Mediterranean gene in her body, I know, but there it is.
So - did I mention we're going to Corsica? Cargese to be precise:
on the West coast, within walking distance of glorious beaches:
and not far from the wonderful, rugged, pink granite mountains:
with their waterfalls and rock pools to swim in.
Not done this bit of the island before. It's a three-and-a-half hour drive from the airport on twisty mountain roads, which will be a joy at sparrow's fart with two stroppy kids, but I DON'T CARE! We're going to CORSICA!!!
I'll worry about the bank balance another day, because - sheesh! Expensive! But no matter, because in case I didn't mention it before, WE'RE GOING TO CORSICA!!!
Oh, well. Best get back to work.
*sigh*
