Hi Butterflywing,
It's about 650 mile from here to Hollland, so about a nine hour trip, but we share the driving - two hours each - so we do it in one go. My DH is used to it though because he works for a Dutch company and has to go once a fortnight for 2 or 3 days, otherwise he works from home, or in other parts of France and once a month he flies to Russia! :shock:
The kids were off school for half term and spent a couple of weeks in England with their father (from whom I'm divorced), so that's why I could go!
