Directories direct

Lots of useful tit-bits. Bits of info about places to go- thought it would be nice to have them all in one place for easy reference. Here we go.

Furniture. Well there's http://www.retrosofas.co.uk/  and http://www.theoakandropecompany.co.uk/ who do lovely benches for inside and out.

If thinking of new windows, or a conservatory. Think German engineering. Think www.weru.co.uk . Available from Amy Johnson way, Blackpool. 01253 341 444.

For that tricky bay window- it's not a problem for www.trackandpoles.com .Old Windmill, Mill Lane, Parbold (near Wigan). 01257 462 787.

Kids holiday camps- there's always http://www.pgl.co.uk/ and http://www.adventuremakers.co.uk/ .



Also just found out about the Barcelo Hotel, Bobadilla, in Andalucia in Spain. 5- star luxury with a "five-fork" restaurant (whatever that is). Sounds like one for the 50th D.V.

Then there's all things french.

In Troyes (on the way to Nice) there's an outlet shopping village http://www.mcarthurglen.fr/ equivalent to our dear "Cheshire Oaks" over here.

In Paris itself I'd want to visit http://www.bigarride.fr/ a lovely menu-less restaurant. Don't you just love restaurants without menus.

More to come soon with a cheap hotels directory.
