We have just had a cancellation for our house in the Loire Valley, for the Christmas and New Year break. To view the house on our web site, please go to www.lovetheloire.com and the property is in Boce. The house, sleeping 7 in proper beds (no sofa beds or put you ups), is in a rural location with fabulous views, it is comfortably furnished and cosy with a wood burning stove in the dining room, and electric heating in all the other rooms.There is a separate sitting room with free to view TV,DVD and I-Pod as well as a phone - free calls to Europe, so you can keep in touch with friends and family - and Wi-Fi. It is 2 miles from the nearest town of Bauge, where there are good local shops, including the best patisserie, - cakes and croissants to die for(!) and a good supermarket. The house will be 'decorated for the holiday' and there will be a lovely tree, holly and a lot of mistletoe! If needed, we can provide full directions for Father Christmas, who will have the choice of 2 chimneys to climb down, with plenty of parking for his sleigh in the garden.

The house will be available from Saturday the 19th December until Saturday the 2nd January, and the cost is ?140 per night, for a minimum of 4 nights (with full occupancy, this is only ?20 a night per person).

If anyone is interestedor you have any queries, please do email me.

Best wishes for a Happy Christmas,

Hennypenny.

Thank you to everyone who read yesterdays post and those of you who also looked on our web site. I left the posting of the message to the other half yesterday as work was busy - and typically, he co..ed it up - leaving out entirely the extra goodies that Santa will be leaving, and getting the price per night completely wrong!


So it should read as above, but with a 'Welcome basket' of delicious things to eat and drink, including the most wonderful Loire pink fizz, foie gras, fig jam, nibbles, local preserves and cheeses, chocolates and a home made Christmas cake. The price per night is ?100 for a minimum of 4 nights.


I have just checked the price of a car with 4 passengers for LD lines out of Dover to Boulogne, and a 5 day return is about ?75. We usually use this route as its only 4.5 hour journey from Boulogne (including a good loo stop).


If you would like any more info, please do send me a PM.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
