French without tears
Article Abstract:
Britons have traditionally not been particularly attracted to skiing holidays in France. They regard the tourist accommodation as inferior, and find that the atmosphere in French ski resorts is not as good as in Swiss and Austrian resorts. However, France is becoming an increasingly attractive destination as the value of sterling to the French franc remains high and travelling to France by high speed train has become possible. Tour operators are encouraging this trend by offering more flexible packages, new resorts and better accommodation.

Flower power on high
Article Abstract:
It is possible to plan the planting of window boxes so that they remain attractive throughout the year. This can be achieved through creating a framework that can remain in the box the whole year, with bedding plants or bulbs being added according to the season. The design of the planting should be determined by the shape of the window and the style of the house. There should be several trailing plants to create interest below the box itself.
