Kiss and Make up……

Posted on May 17, 2013 by

I got the blues….

Posted on May 5, 2013 by

The Hound of the Daffodils….

Posted on April 28, 2013 by

Much as I dislike diminutives, I’m very fond of Trigger and Gypsy. The two eponymous poodles have been in our charge over the last few days, which has meant that I have been drawn away from stove and keyboard and … Continue reading →

Coffee is the cornerstone…..

Posted on April 24, 2013 by

Ladies who lunch..Chez Papa..

Posted on April 21, 2013 by

Uncovering treasure is not an accurate science. I say this with an authority that I do not possess, as treasure and I are rarely, if ever, seen together or even spoken of in the same breath. The same can be … Continue reading →

Gimme a red courgette….

Posted on April 19, 2013 by

This is a fine example of the failure of language through intonation. One slip of a consonant and the farmer, formerly known as Vince, is staring at the curvy rear end of a rosey courgette cropper rather than the rude … Continue reading →

Still waiting for the green man…

Posted on April 6, 2013 by

This is the forest that acts as the backcloth to our lives. We look out of the windows of the house, or from the window of the car as we go about our daily business, searching for the first signs … Continue reading →

Gone fishing….. an update with more pictures

Posted on November 21, 2012 by

Les Cabanes de Pécheur de Faymoreau       “Where is everyone?”is the question most often asked by visitors to France as they pass through villages of empty streets and shuttered windows. I am at home in the peaceful stillness of … Continue reading →

Posted on July 10, 2012 by

It’s up and running and I’m down and out for the moment. I’m sure .org is worth it in the end, I just want to be there at the end which seems a long way away. I’m still going to … Continue reading →
