You're listening to the Shillocks podcast, your guide to a more stylish life.

Hello and welcome to the Shilat's team podcast with me Heather Steele. Today I'm joined by Harriet Russell, Sherry Andrew and Ordinah Blaskey. Welcome everyone.

Hello. We're sort of stupidly excited because you might have noticed. We've got new microphone.

Woohoo! New mics. New mics are looking very technical and very cool and very big at the moment, but I'm sure we'll get used to them in no time.

Joaquin and welcome back. You've just had, is it, three weeks out of the office?

I've had three weeks out of office, yeah, back in Monday morning, into the podcast. Yeah yeah I felt a bit bad when I was sending

you the invitation on Friday I was like Jordan will have just got back and her inbox will be

mad but yeah that's good it's good it's great so yeah I've had a great break it's been really

nice to be away I haven't had that much time off in one go for years and years and years so yeah I feel refreshed

rejuvenated tell us where you were so I was in the south of France we drove so we had two days

either side of the whole day which were in the car just driving around but we stopped for one night

on the way down in Burgundy in a village and that was beautiful

and then we drove to Saint-Crepais and spent some time there then we went to a village in the

hills behind Nice so it's called Vance and then we drove back via a place called Gorge de Verdun, which is almost like the kind

of Grand Canyon of the south of France.

So we did some activities there and then stopped at the new Mama Shelter in Dijon on the

way back, which opened about two weeks ago, which is so cool. And I'd never been to Dijon and Dijon as the way back which opened about two weeks ago which is so cool and I'd never been to Dijon

and Dijon as a city amazing for a city break oh yeah I'd like to go I mean you could actually

drive from the from the coast down from as in from Calais down it's about five or six hours

so you know it's doable but actually obviously you can fly it's got an

airport but just the most incredible city really rich in architecture and culture and got kind of

medieval um aspects to it when you walk around it's got almost those kind of like tudor style buildings
