Morning This morning is hair cut for both of us. I shall hace a swim about noon, provided the pool is not full of children jumping in which case I will come home again. This afternoon I will sew or start sorting drawers from the unit we have moved. We keep info on appliances in there and I am sure t...

Morning It is early and I have been awake for hours.i think I didn’t need much sleep as I had a very inactive day yesterday. It was a long day at Christies as Bob had two scams, one at noon the other mid afternoon. He went from one to the other so I mostly spent the afternoon reading in the cafeteri...

Morning I was in bed early and have slept for hours as the various clock changes have caught up with me. Today we are at Christies as Bob has two of the final scans to confirm the all clear. Depending on the waiting between one and the other it will be late afternoon when we get back. I shall take m...

Morning It’s another chilly damp start, not sure how it will pan out. Bob starts back at the railway at the park today. They don’t open till next week but have a bit of maintenance to do as they are having a delivery this week of a new canopy for the ‘ticket office’ . I shall do my usual , ironing a...

Morning It was a busy morning yesterday before we went over to Tod for art, followed by lunch out with Wendy and Keith. I quite for got to write until later. This morning Bob is out at the model engineers sale. Whilst he is out Lucy is coming for a couple of hours to get on with her dress. She will ...

It's been quite a day. One of my major issues since Col died has been how i can possibly deal with his huge collection of tools and supplies stored in his workshop. Friends, including Big Kev, have been invited round to take whatever they fancy in return for a donation to charity. Col would be well...

Morning We were both wide awake at just after 5.30 am as our bodies are still on french time. Its a lovely clear morning with the weather gauge showing minus 1.2 degrees. It is however dry. We had a sunny but windy drive to just before Oxford where we stopped at a Starbuck for a coffee and some lunc...

The crossing was only a little agitated but we slept through it. However this morning it was too windy to leave the ferry. We waited in the car for 30 minutes but then had to go back into the lounge of the ferry for over two hours while they moved the ship to a more sheltered berth. I think it will ...

18 degrees and sunny in St Malo with usual by the sea breeze

Could be a windy crossing Sue. I hope not for Bob's sake! I shall be in the shed for my morning session of OT. I suspect I shall be cooking pork and orange today while watching rain outside. Robin my chiropodist is coming to pamper my feet this afternoon.... As it is a night crossing we shall sleep...

Morning We seem to have fallen into a pattern of cold thick mist starts to the day, clearing by 10.30 am and sunny by noon. Today is no exception. This morning i will clean the two bathrooms and the kitchen. As they are done nearly every day it won’t be an onerous job. The main task is to clean out ...

Two full weeks here, plus three days travelling in total so left home on Sunday morning the 8 th and back Wednesday evening the 25 th. Time flies, March nearly over. March is always a busy stay as we tidy up after the winter. Now we hit the growing season…..

Morning Another misty cool start to the day. I hope it turns out like yesterday, sunny with a cool breeze. I did my jobs in the morning and all the bedding dried outside really well. We had a good lunch but the service was rubbish. We have only eaten in this crêperie once before and it was much the ...

Not at all only this morning before lunch

Morning Today is the start of the big clean. I shall change our bedding and clean the bedrooms ( I didn’t get them done yesterday) not an onerous task but a hoover and a polish will keep things fresh . We are out for lunch in La Gacilly plus a visit to Yves Rochers toiletries shop. We will probably ...

Sounds like a lot of work to me Sue. So you won't be there long? Do you get a longer stay in summer? Home on Tuesday, back for a week inApril to ensure everything stays tidy then here for a month in August. We may be here in June but I can’t remember. We have to keep on top of it if we want to sell...

Morning We have a low lying misty start to the day but above it the sun is already shining. A very sunny day is forecast at 16 degrees. We have a few trips to do. We have to take our boxes of glasses and crockery and a few other things to the charity ware house. On returning home we will put the old...

Impressive gates Sue...... We don't have any sunshine yet but we hope to have a good day. I shall be off to the pharmacy as soon as they are open at 09:00. Much improved on the broken wooden ones that really gave up last October despite regular surface treatment. They had become very warped and dis...

Morning Another lovely day yesterday but with a chilly start . We did our shopping but need a few bits from a different supermarket in a different town so perhaps this morning. I finished planting potatoes and tidying the rhubarb patch so all that remain for me to do in the garden is to give all the...

It certainly was Stanley

Morning It was a beautiful day reaching over 20 degrees. Our day at the coast was lovely. We arrived at low tide , and there is something rather nice about walking along an almost deserted beach on freshly exposed sand. We visited somewhere we had never been before , famous for mussels. As the rocks...

Morrning It was a beautiful day yesterday. Bob put on one gate in the morning. Its taking some time as the style of hinges don’t match the existing ones or shape of the gate posts, so its having to be redesigned. It will be worth it in the end. I prepared the soil for planting potatoes and did a bit...

Morning It was a dreary day yesterday. We had a good trip to the bricolage (DIY store) buying buying the bits to fix the gate, the dehumidifier, a couple more strawberry plants and some traps for hornets. The latter sell out in the summer so its better to buy them when you see them. Bob spent the af...

Well I do have to dry the washing inside at this time of year and I do small loads daily to make it easier to find drying space, though the house on general does feel a bit cool and damp with very little sun to dry things out, same as home

Morning Once the mist lifted yesterday we had a lovely day with clear blue skies, around about 13 to 14 degrees. We had a very nice lunch out and did the same walk as Saturday with a loop through the town and along the river. Back at the house I had started sorting some cupboards in the morning whic...
