So today has been about a number of creative activities. I have finally managed to start to use a knitting machine. I have been trying different crochet squares for the poncho. I have also spent part of the day battling with Facebook. I have spent almost as much time time frogging, taking out, as puttingContinue reading “Knitting, crochet and Facebook market place”

Normally I would write a longer post today. However we have spent much of the day sourcing bunk beds and have now been invited to an impromptu barbecue. So we are going! I hope you all have a great weekend. Here are some beautiful tulips that have come out in front of our house! UntilContinue reading “Sunshine, flowers and a barbecue”

So this afternoon I have spent mostly sitting in a friend’s garden enjoying the sun and the feeling of not having to do anything and just relaxing. However this is all about to change. Or at least I hope it is. It has been announced that the roadmap out of confinement is to be followedContinue reading “Exciting news”

Today is my husband’s birthday. And for the 2nd year in a row his birthday is during lock down. Last year we were still in the UK and now we’re in Brittany. I’m not sure that he will have seen much of a difference between the two. However; today he got his first Covid jab.Continue reading “Differences and another lock down birthday”

I over slept this morning. It was the first night in probably over a week when I haven’t been awoken in the night by the cat. It continues to live a nocturnal life and hide from us! So after walking the dogs I thought that I’d have a go at the cabinet that I startedContinue reading “Oh dear!”

So today, has been about various things; haircut, crochet and the gite d’etape. My husband was going to work on the gite d’etape today. We are having an additional water tank fitted in order that we can let all of the rooms, rather than just some of them! We were up early so that theContinue reading “Time for the gite”

Yesterday we had a really pleasant day. We took the dogs for a long walk, my husband gardened and I crocheted. In fact I spent part of the afternoon sat in the poly tunnel crocheting. It was lovely and warm. Finally we listened to our youngest on the radio. We have got back into theContinue reading “The cat and the design”

So today I decided to have an easy day, more about that shortly. I have also taken the decision that I will not blog on Sundays or bank holidays. There are a number of the latter in May. I will let you know when they are nearer the time. Firstly though; I would like toContinue reading “Taking it easy”

From the outset my intention was that this blog discusses some of the issues that can only be faced by women; miscarriage, still birth and termination. I have had two phases in my life that can be considered as breakdowns; one after my final miscarriage and one 18 months ago which was as a resultContinue reading “Miscarriage is a dirty word…”

Today has mostly been about shopping. I no longer enjoy going to supermarkets so I try to do it as infrequently as possible. However about once a fortnight, sometimes less, it has to be done. After walking the dogs this morning it was a case of walking around the house and making a list inContinue reading “French markets – a way of life”
