A-Z Challenge 2025 - F is for Flapdoodle

Oops I've slipped a day in my progress. I was 2 posts ahead of myself but now only 1.  I must have been flapdoodling!  Yes another word for nonsense.

Actually I was doing my regular Friday's Fave Five post, lots of washing, walking round the lake and doing an impromptu school pickup.  I was also trying (not very successfully) to visit the bloggers who'd taken the time to visit here.  How did I ever manage to find time to work? 

Thankfully no post is needed for tomorrow so I might find time to get back ahead of myself.  I knew I was going to be winging it this year but I'm flying a bit too close to the wind already.

Right, on to the F countries:

• Fiji
• Finland
• France

Only 3 and I've been to France! So a 33.3333333 % success rate!

We've actually been to France quite a few times.  It helps when you have a sister-in-law living there.  One of Hubby's sisters went over to study I think, many years ago, met a nice French man and the rest is history.  It's quite easy for us to get to them as they live in Dunkerque so we can drive to Folkestone, take the Eurotunnel and be at her house within about 4 hours on a good run.

We also used to take holidays on the Atlantic coast of France with one of Hubby's other sisters and her family.  We were quite the campers for a while.  Unfortunately my command of the French language is still extremely limited despite having studied it at school.

Finland appeals, although part of it is a bit too close to Russia for my liking and I can't see us ever getting to Fiji.

That's 6 out of 197 countries then - the list I'm working from can be found here.

And 6 out of 26 letters done.
