Being the first solo' holiday I'd ever been on, I had a crieatn trepidation building up to the day I flew out, not really knowing what to expect and slightly worried that my patchy Spanish may not make the grade of the intermediate' course I'd signed up to.However, what a tremendous week. Georgina has a wonderful thing going in this beautiful part of the world and all the individual components of the holiday that she offers come together wonderfully in an intensely enjoyable and exciting way.Levels of ‘fluency’ are fairly subjective and, amongst our group, we had a varying level of ‘intermediate’ knowledge which made it incredibly useful to bounce things off each other. Everyone in the group was lovely – we all mingled and chatted with each other throughout our week together and this helped the learning process no end. The fun and laughter we all shared will stick with me a long time.For developing your skills in Spanish, this holiday really is fantastic, but don’t confuse it with a typical language holiday. There is so much freedom to learn here – from real people in real situations, in some of the most stunning scenery I’ve ever seen. And the glorious photos really don’t do that vista justice.Quite simply, this was one of the best holidays I have ever experienced and I have nothing but the fondest of memories along with the utmost eagerness to return again soon. As well as being with a fantastic group of fellow travellers, our farmhouse hosts simply couldn’t have done any more for us if they tried. Every dietary requirement was accommodated without fuss, the food was wonderful and their company delightful. Our teacher, Alicia, was fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly, patient (y muy guapa tambien), she helped me in the space of a few hours to get my head around some grammatical concepts that had baffled me after two years of self-study. An amazing teacher. Then there’s Georgina – fun, lively, gregarious and passionate – who welcomes all her guests with such affection, breaking down any shyness or awkwardness that’s always present in a group of independent travellers, she immediately makes you feel part of a very special family. And what a big family. Throughout the week we had the pleasure of meeting so many local people that enriched the holiday even further – friends, family, local farmers, restaurateurs, musicians, random strangers – all of whom were delighted to talk to us. And I can’t possibly get away without mentioning Marion, Georgina’s beautiful 6 year old tri-lingual daughter, who played the perfect hostess, supplying me with an endless supply of wine (“Borracho, borracho!”), secretly helped me out in English during a ‘Spanish-only’ lunch, and will be a friend for life for comparing me to a Hollywood teenage heartthrob. At 37 you take the compliments where you can… They say that it’s not where you are, but who you’re with that makes a holiday special. I wholeheartedly agree. http://xasumlydf.com [url=http://ujtmegalc.com]ujtmegalc[/url] [link=http://hdhvxzpixu.com]hdhvxzpixu[/link]

Sorry for arriving late to this detabe. We live in the northern Dordogne and have often noticed this circling behaviour. It appears to me that a few birds will leave a formation and circle until the next formation catches up. They then join that formation and carry on. This pattern seems to repeat itself, as though all the cranes are in some sort of giant convoy. The cranes that we see circling don't appear to be catching thermals as they don't get an higher, though of course this might happen elsewhere. Although we usually see many thousands of cranes each year, we've hardly seen any flying south this year. Maybe they've just taken a different route.
