We Made It

Just sitting here in the sunshine (beside the pool) pinching myself. We’ve actually made it to a France, a little later than planned but what the heck! Had a great trip down to the SW taking our time in “Parsley” checking areas and making notes as we travelled. The...

On y va!!!

Just into July and our plans are beginning to take shape. A 4 month delay but hey we were lucky enough to spend that time with family, see the seasons change in England and enjoy some quiet time in the Gloucestershire countryside, unwinding from the frenetic time at...

Still On Hold

So, now we are into June and our plans are still on hold. There’s talk on social media that border restrictions within the EU may be lifted next week, however getting across the Channel may not be so easy – time will tell! Some excitement last week when we were...

Movement in the Air

With restrictions being slightly lifted here in England, we’ve been able to put Stage 1 of our original plan into action! We’re on the search for a little Motorhome to enable us (as and when?) to progress to Stage 2 in France. Have visited a couple of dealers, all...

Time Marches On

Our daily dog walks now are in shirtsleeves or a jumper rather than waterproofs and beanies! Spring is moving towards Summer, different flowers are blooming- the daffodils and bluebells are over and we’ve started to net the gooseberries and other fruit. Irises in the...

Home Schooling

As the days and weeks drift into each other it’s hard to believe we’ve been on this side of the world for 10 weeks now! In some ways it feels like forever as we have completely settled into our new way of life “social distancing “ and filling the days. Bit of home...

Freedom

A word that probably means something different to each of us. In this crazy world we’re currently dealing with, isolation and restrictions are effecting many of us. Yesterday I had a bit of a “down day” just feeling sorry for myself that our plans for a possible new...

Back at Base

And when we’re not out on exercise the day is filled in other ways. Never thought I would be a jigsaw fan, but it’s amazing how addictive they are (and supposedly good for the brain!?) Have moved on from 200 to 300 pieces and next is the 500! Bit of education too,...

Out on Exercise!

We’re settling into a daily self isolating routine now, which includes a daily walk around the local fields ( note not paddocks!) Still find it hard to believe that here in the UK you seem to be allowed to march around anyones farm, including one regular walk which...
