Just got to put pictures up, but waiting till next visit and do the ceiling above the table like the kitchen end. I painted the kitchen units 2 years ago, its taken that long to getting round to doing the rest. The wallpaper above the sink is fairly new so not being changed

Thanks Sue, good to know the food is okay, looking forward to it, we go late June. Morning Gloria, I just thought not all the ferries have a restaurant some only have a large cafeteria. The food is ok , but not as good as the ones with a restaurant The newest boat, the Armorique is like that. I don...

Accidently put my message in draft but can’t find it to post it

Done it, thanks Wendy

Enjoy, where are you heading for Gloria . We come over again from May 30 th to June 18 th, trying to time a visit to meet up with a second cousin from New Zealand who is half french and married to a frenchman. They are renting a house in Brittany in early June

Yes you would find seats but it is a 9 hour crossing. We usually have a cabin and have a sleep after lunch. Get a 4 berth then no one needs to climb up to the top bunk. There is usually some entertainment in the bar June to September, and there is a cinema. The restaurant does a nice lunch, it can f...

Morning Another wet day yesterday and another today plus thunderstorms but the tide turns tomorrow with the rest of the week hitting 24 by Thursday, we should have cruise like weather on the ferry then . I did manage to get my plants in yesterday though got very wet doing it. However great weather f...

Morning Yes Wendy I love the app too. Amazingly I get similar birds here to those in Rochdale with the exception of a cuckoo which annually lives down in our field / orchard here. I occasionally see it. Yesterday was a cool wet day today is a dry morning then very heavy rain. This is going to contin...

Haha Yes. Sorry I’m a bit frustrated - I’ve had an awful day. This morning I was doing a load of washing, when I heard a gurgling noise. I went to investigate and found that my laundry (tiled) and hallway (carpeted) was flooded with water. Oh no! Messaged my Landlady in a mad panic with a pic, she ...

Morning Yesterday was showery but we mainly stayed dry doing our shopping and apart from the market today we won’t need to shop again this visit. Laetitia pointed us in the direction of a local cheap shop, cheaper than Lidl which turns out to be the local co operative. They sell large packs of every...

Morning Sue.... As usual nothing is clear and everyone is promoting their side of the story. All I am sure of is that it's a bad weekend for the Tories! …. Not sure what to make of this but the local councillor for our ward has stayed Tory. The local men of other parties who live here did not do wel...

I shall be in the shed at 06:00 and in the Co-op at 07:00 for some milk. Apart from that I hope to be gloating over a Tory defeat in the elections. Interestingly Labour lost control in Oldham, keep control in Rochdale but there are some very interesting non labour results like Norden and Bamford go...

Morning No decorating yesterday, it was a nice day. Bob did what he had to do with filler and then we both went out in the garden. I planted my tomatoes and put up my usual support frame , then I tackled the rhubarb patch. At least it is now uncovered there being several 3 foot thistles amongst the ...

So you didn't have a relaxing day but crashed on with decorating! How is your throat? I hope it's getting Its not as sore, the voice is still croaky and I have developed a nasty cough. I have slept well for two nights which has helped. Yes must crack on with the decorating. The dining kitchen is th...

Morning all and thanks for the best wishes. We spent the day stripping wallpaper ! We shall go out for a meal on Sunday to celebrate. So thats it for yesterday. It was a long haul. It took ages to get the wallpaper off the kitchen walls. We had put some of it on and that came off easily but the othe...

43 for me and P today.

Yes I thought it was Kev. A bit behind us though I think. Congrats

Morning It was a lovely day yesterday. After unpacking we managed to get some general garden tidying done so it looks a little better out there, to match the lovely neatly cut lawn that Yves has done. We arrived to flowers on the table and a small jigsaw gift each. We are known for always having a j...

Morning

It's a beautiful morning in St Malo but not forecast to last. We should be at the house in a couple of hours after we have done some essential shopping..apparently Yves has cut the grass and Laetitia cleared the spiders. They are so kind


Have a good day

We are at a Premier Inn near Oxford and after breakfast we will drive down to Winchester and spend the day there. Its blue skies and calm and the forecast is for a smooth crossing this evening

Have a good day all

Just spilt my tea all over me, the bedding, the carpet. Its gone through to the duvet, well it will have to stay till we get home, luckily the sheet is patterned and tea coloured. Just heard Ed is doing the Coventry half mile in the rain Oh no! That's the last thing you need. I'm sure Ed is doing a...

Morning This morning is rain 6 degrees feels like 3 . We are off to Coventry arriving mid to late afternoon. There is no rush as Julia is in Birmingham where both girls are swimming.
