Testing the waters - I can swap Nairobi Kenya for Somerset, next Easter?

I need somewhere near to Yeovil for 2 weeks next Easter, it would need to be big enough to handle 3 children. Anyone fancy a holiday in Kenya in a huge old house, big garden and a housekeeper thrown in?

The plan is 2 weeks in the UK and a week in Greece to visit my dmum, I hadn't thought about a house swap but its a good idea isn't it? grin

I'm sure we could squeeze in a tiny MIL-type meet up.

Do you think Enid or Beetie might fancy a holiday in Kenya?

Right, back later I'm off to be a fun mum wink

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
