After spending most of yesterday setting up another automatic watering system, for a different part of the garden, it's ironic that it's been raining overnight and still raining when we get up. We have been going to training classes with Max for over 8 months now and this the first Saturday that we have missed because of the weather. Whilst it's not heavy rain it's persistent and will help a little.
We leave for Sommieres market, later that morning, for the usual goodies and for a bite to eat with Bob and Lynne. We also meet H & E at Bar Partropi and quickly down a bottle of Pic Poul before heading off to L'Evasion for pizzas. Bob and Lynne are, as ever, good company and then we head home to watch England beat Northern Ireland, 4-0, in a World Cup qualifier. All in all a good day!
About Me
- Alex
- Jan and I moved from England to France in July 2002 and then, in February 2011, after nearly 9 great years in France we have moved to North Yorkshire, England, to be nearer to my ageing mother. The move to France was primarily motivated by the opportunity to, 'have an adventure', after our children had flown the nest. Well now the adventure continues. After six years back in England our delightful Beauceron Max has died and leaves a confused Minnie who has only ever known her beloved companion . She is a Beauceron, a large but very congenial, French breed of sheep dog. By a total coincidence my mother told Jan that North Yorkshire, Ripon, is where I was conceived. Frankly, a bit too much information but it just goes to show that what goes around comes around. This journal reflects the thoughts, likes, dislikes, fantasies and observations of our latest life in Yorkshire, for me, Jan, Minnie and my alter ego Ed.
