    Question Holiday in Provence-advice?

    So. I'm thinking I should try Provence for holiday. Anybody knows when the lavender blooms and what kind of accommodation is romantic yet cheap? Some place handy near the beach yet close to some city I could fly to from Dublin?
    Suggestions?

    A tent is cheap, yet romantic and cheap and you can pitch it near a beach.
    I asked my gardener, he reckons the lavender will be out now well into September....but i wouldnt trust him

    I just asked my under gardener Google and he tells me they harvest it early July....sorry

    Stephen Fry would be proud of me with my usage of the english language and displaying its flexibility while building up to the gag that encompasses a second language. Its high brow comedy but I like!!!

    Direct from Dublin, you are talking about, Carcassonne, Marseille or Nice, in accending order of price.
    Nice is a city on the beach but far from cheap, Marseille is a bit dodgy and Carcassonne is bit rural.
    In between and may be the best option is you have Montpellier young student,tourist city not too expensive with tram that brings you to the beach.

    Squirt Wizard eh? Is that like a pinball wizard where you just have learn to press a lot of different buttons at the right time?

    Call me a deaf dumb and blind kid but I just dont think I could have what it takes to become a Squirt Wizard!

    I would imagine a lot of people dont make it through the training to become Squirt Wizards and end up spilling out in to other professions

    Like janitors or other uses of mops to clean floors
