Stinky cheese and lashings and lashings of vin de rosé.

The Silk family took their holiday this year in a lovely little village called Onzain right in the middle of the Loire valley, France.
Staying at a tip top holiday camp run by Siblu, we had a fantastic time with days full of trips to Amboise market, stocking up on splendid French produce, meat and the most delicious cake with a burnt top made of cheese apparently from Poitiers. A trip to the spectacular Chenonceau chateau with its beautiful gardens and a maze to get lost in. A day shopping in Tours brought on by Georgia snapping the strap on her sandals, a day at Beauval zoo with its White Tigers, Alligators, Koalas, Penguins and killer goats, a mooch around Blois and loads of swimming pool action, pedalos and general chillin.

Nights were mainly spent with bottles of wine on the terrace or relaxing at the camp's restaurant bar taking in the entertainment laid on by the staff, that is when we could tear Nicole away from the trampoline...

Viva La France!!!
