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 being very careful to maintain social distancing with gloves and masks at the ready.


Whilst back at base we’ve been watching a couple of very busy little blue tits diving in and out of their nesting box, then this morning 4 baby blue tits left the nest. The tiny bundles of fluff chose the windiest day this Spring to test their wings and sadly one ditched in the garden trough and drowned before we could get there😢



Such different little characters to the boisterous, brightly coloured Rosellas we used to see, but every bit as entertaining.
RIP little one.
Hello Chris and Sue. Great to hear all your news. Just to let you know that Cliff’s Edge is now at Rangal Park and I had a lovely email from Eric B. saying how much he used to enjoy a glass of red with you! Also, said I could go and see him at any time which is so nice.
Chris, thought you should know that I am still reading ‘Middlemarch’, the book you left me. Well, I have found it really heavy going and it is taking so long to get through, but I will stick at it. Complex literature which you do not see in today’s novels!!! Take good care and hopefully not too long before you can cross the channel.
Hi Liz, that’s wonderful news about both Cliffy and Eric! Would love to see photos if you go visiting.
Seem to remember Chris struggled a bit with Middlemarch too😂
Take care.
