A jolly
start to this blog with us lot turning up in silly hats to wish William a very
happy 90th Birthday. I am pretty sure I have a photo of
us surrounding William for every birthday he has had since we met six years
ago. We bought corn on the cob dishes
off Anna and William's car boot stall in Blossville six years ago and have not
looked back, so happy 91st
year and let’s hope it stops raining so you can properly enjoy it.
And on the
subject of rain we have not started or finished a conversation with anyone without
bringing up the issue of rain. It is
also at this time that you thank whatever governs these things, that we bought
our home here in Brevands on the high side of our little back end of the
village
After days
of excuses about not walking HOSS I finally donned my sailing jacket and we hit
the road. For days now there has always
been something going on and yesterday it was Hilary and Michel in for lunch
that stopped me taking HOSS out for a proper walk but Hilary who understands
dogs mentioned that HOSS had a sad and troubled look about him so I made a
point of taking him out for his 30 minute walk no matter what today. This road
is the bottom side of our one way system and you can see that the gardener has dug
out trenches double sized and that is why I am so relieved we live on the top
end where our rainwater drains off into the ditches that empty into the low end
and with the relentless downpour we look to thank our lucky stars for just
about anything we can thank.
Mike has
been at it again on le bon coin and in his committed dedication found us the
deal of the year. It is a brand new glass door canopy to go over our winter
door to the house. We have been looking for many
years for something we could afford and these babies cost 500 Euro from the
shops and we paid 50 Euro and met a nice man in the back end of Quettehou on a
windy wet evening to add to the occasion,
Once again while we are thanking our lucky stars we managed to fit yet another
odd shaped object in the van and bring it home without a logistic challenge so,
good van, good buy and just good all around.
And finally
here we are with Graham and Ann on a date day. Georgina in Canada tells us how
she goes out on a date with Al or the kids on their own, so we have decided to
go out to lunch once a month, all the other weeks we
picnic and get out to do something together.
This week it is a games night but last Sunday it was a walk around a garden centre and a lunch in Le Moulin Restaurant, good value, good food and good fun…..
