of Scotland. We were excavating an old church and
one day we uncovered hidden treasure – some old
silver and gold bowls and brooches and other
objects that experts decided had probably been
hidden in the church when the Vikings invaded.

You don’t need to spend a lot of money to have a
good time on holiday, do you? But I must admit a
bit of luxury can be nice once in a while. My
husband hadn’t been very well so we decided to go
away somewhere really special that year. We went
to a very expensive hotel in Paris. It was in an old
palace, I think, and our bedroom was about as big
as our whole house. The furniture was antique and
beautiful and the bathroom was amazing. We were
served breakfast off silver dishes in our room. We
went to local restaurants rather than eating in the
hotel dining room though – as that looked far too
grand and we couldn’t understand half the words
on the menu. We’d no money left for souvenirs but
we’ve got some great memories.

We had a simply brilliant time until it was time to
come home. Then when we got to the airport we
found that there was a strike by air traffic control
staff in one of the countries that we were supposed
to be flying over and we were going to have to wait.
Nobody could tell us how long we were going to
have to wait for. The airport got more and more
crowded and it was desperately hot. In the end we
had to wait till the next day! I was late back for work
and missed an important meeting. And to crown it
all, my luggage went to South Africa and I didn’t get
it back for another week!
That is the end of Part 3.
