We’ve made it to Uzes for PoOn and Eric’s wedding!

Originally we were supposed to stay at some dour tiny old apartment called Las Mas Des Oliviers in Uzes this week but I wasn’t having any of that.  ESPECIALLY not after I saw the sweet place PoOn and Eric were staying.  THAT’S where I’m supposed to be.  Not some bunk bed of a tiny place.  This bear deserves better.

So I didn’t say a thing when the group was running behind, and I didn’t point out that it was getting late.  Pokin mentioned that the hotel had an early check-in cut of time of 7:00pm and I knew we were getting close to that time.  With a bit of extra luck getting lost trying to find the apartment and a few other delays later, we were officially without a place to stay.  And then we found out that Las Mas was going to be closed from Saturday until Tuesday.  Well I guess we’re homeless.

A shame.

No choice but for PoOn, Eric and Mrs Mackinnon to put us up in their my villa!

Now this is my kind of place.  Five bedrooms, infinity pool, plenty of chairs to lounge in, tall stone walls, fruit orchards, a cistern, a dungeon, a servant’s quarters and all overlooking vineyards!  I made full use of it while everyone else scrambled to make wedding preparations.  It was great.  I didn’t even get upset when it threatened to rain.  I just sat back and chillaxed while people freaked out about rehearsals, speeches and all of that silly stuff.  All I needed to do was look great after all and that comes naturally for this bear.

This is my new back yard, relaxing on a patio above my infinity pool.

Here are my rose gardens and grapes, you can see my wall in the distance where I will eventually position sentries to guard the gate.

My gardener is doing a good job keeping the lawn green, my kind of color.

Relaxing in a chair.

Relaxing in another chair.

Relaxing in yet another chair.

I’m definitely getting used to this.

Oh look, my bear bud even set me up a private alcove for relaxing and looking great.  I think he mentioned something about wedding decorations, but I wasn’t listening.

I even tamed this vicious beast we found inside the villa.

A week of villa staying here has reminded me that I need to get a new more permanent bear-villa asap.  Get to it, Nicholas!

p.s.  Pokin was a bit upset that she ended up being charged the whole stay at Las Mas des Oliviers but I still stand behind being glad we stayed at my villa instead.  Also I am sorry that Odette getting her purse and all her keys stolen and the ensuing delay proved instrumental to me getting to stay at my awesome villa.
