| One complimentary drink and a packet of nuts later and they are in Lanzarote. |

| Brenda isn't really much of a sun worshiper so she strolls off in search of adventure but with the beating sun doesn't get very far. |
 |
| Meanwhile Sky has overheated and finds a rock from which she can dive bomb into the pool. |

She delves into her stash.
She pokes and prods the package and is intrigued. What could this be ? Ethel is thrilled to discover its a new FTB. (She secretly thinks that he will make an assistant, not the intention but that's Ethel for you!)
Cordelia was also unwrapped this christmas and was relieved to have a very nice owner.
The FTB's get together for a hike up the christmas tree where you'll see some old favourites Herman, Constance, Wally and Ethel plus newbie Cordelia.
She takes her time eyeing the shops from her lofted vantage point before she spots a familiar sign.
If there's one word that Brenda likes to see when she's shopping it's SALE !
Brenda looks at a potential addition to her wardrobe but isn't sure about the puffy sleeves.
Brenda takes a break to look at the Christmas decorations.
She spots some rather large baubles and makes a mental note to spruce up the decor for something more festive.
Brenda is sure the reindeer has been tracking her since she arrived.
The journey begins, no Eurostar for our intrepid trio as they brave the seas on a ferry.
They listen to some music to drown out the sound of the engines and combat the nausea from the rocking of the boat.
Ethel arrives and hasn't the energy to unpack.
Wally and Ethel are the first to bed once they are settled in their Parisian Hotel.They are not impressed that they have to share a bed and that Constance somehow got separated.
Ethel revitalised checks out the sights and marvels at the Eiffel Tower.
Ethel likes it so much she buys one for herself and when in Paris the beret must be worn.
Ethel outside the Notre Dame Cathedral, she wonders if the Hunchback still lives there ?
Constance gets into a spot of bother.
Constance and Wally pay their respects at the Memorial at Vimy Ridge.
Wally wonders off to check out the museum.
Wally decides to climb a wall of sandbags for a better view.
Wally always up to no good loses his friends at the Louvre. A man in a beret appears to think someone is taking his picture judging by the po.
Outside the Pompidou Centre, the trio prepare for an afternoon of art and culture. According to my sources apparently it didn't smell very nice inside so they didn't enjoy it that much.
Ethel once again house hunting thinks the Palace at Versailles would make a great residence.
The trio are impressed by the spectacular gardens at Versaille. Ethel thinks it would be a great spot to show her fashion collection.
Ethel and Constance take a cheeky picture in front of the naked lady to show their friends.
Wally, Constance and Ethel despite being ignored when queuing for toilets and travelling in lifts have thoroughly enjoyed their Parisian jaunt but the real world beckons and they have to get back to their responsabilities. Thanks to Ciara, Sophie and Emily for their fabulous pictures.
Constance boarding the plane to Dublin, she is a bit worried as her owner looks like being the last to board and she really doesn't want to miss the flight.
Constance is relieved to arrive at Dublin airport but where o where is her luggage ?
Constance can only look on as her fellow travellers wheel their suitcases into the Ramada hotel. What is a hairstylist to do without her tools ?
Constance tries to relax and not think about her misfortune at the meeting of the waters.
Thankfully Constance doesn't need her sunblock or towel at Bray beach.
If there's one thing to make Constance smile it's shopping. Fortunately she had travel insurance so she is able to replace some of her missing items one of which is her Frizz Ease. What is a girl to do without straightening irons ?
At the heather fields Constance is glad to not have to encounter another living soul.
The sheep don't seem to mind Constance's frizzy hair, there's no way she's putting her snaps up on facebook that's for sure.
Constance gets a phonecall at the Ramada inn asking her to appear at the local police station. Her suitcase has turned up.
But wait, Constance's baggage it seems contained some Hair Dye which is on the prohibited item list. It seems Constance's suitcase was blown up at Gatwick Airport as a precaution and Constance is arrested !!
Inside Wicklow Gaol. " There's been a terrible mistake, I'm innocent, she says." No, one pays her any attention.
Her loud screams and protest land her into more trouble and she is locked up.
