Up at 06.00 for the 09.30 flight to Nîmes. Yesterday was very hectic and I think that we were still running on the previous day's adrenalin. Gill and Glyn had been 'absolutely fabulous' hosts and we were very sorry to leave. Unfortunately we had to come back to Nîmes to pick up Floyd and his pals because their plane landed shortly after ours. Relaxing this was not. We managed an hours supermarket shop before dashing over to Montpellier to meet them. Whose idea was this?
Despite a 33C heat, these guys hit the tennis court and stayed out there until 20.30. It makes me ill just to think about it!
For dinner Jan rustles up, north African starters, a lamb and vegetable couscous and a very north African strawberry and cherry fruit salad. Well, she was two thirds of the way there! Boy, do these guys eat, so we already have another trip to the supermarket planned! It was less than 24 hours ago that we were having our eardrums bashed in Manchester. Pardon!
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.
