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 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

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.

Just checking

Ah Wendy, take away, tomorrow’s tea as the fridge is now empty, apart from half a cucumber and a bit of cabbage , oh yes and some sprouting potatoes

Its now 5.45 pm and its the first time I have managed to get on the site today. I have tried a few times this afternoon.

That leave half a cucumber and half a cabbage…

An interesting tea tonight. What in the fridge goes together as we are running things down before we go away. A lovely chicken casserole with left over red pepper, chorizo, carrots, spring onions, tomatoes and left over roast chicken. We had it with rice, it was yummy

Morning all

I have sewing with Maxine this morning, then this afternoon I have to take my car in for its first service and an oil change. I will probably not get back in time for zoom pilates at 5.30 pm , ...

Morning Rain all day yesterday, I hope today will be better. I repotted my squash plants into bigger pots so they can stay in the greenhouse whilst we are away and I finished a summer top in anticipation that eventually winter will finish. I am not holding my breath and its not much warmer or drier ...
