DOGS ON THE BEACH

Can it be spring already?

A glorious day on Friday, so we went down to Quatre Vaux beach to give the dogs a decent run.

The tide was high for once so the chasing of seagulls was off the menu.

SO WE WENT FOR A CHINESE

We went for an all you can eat Chinese buffet in St Malo on Wednesday.

Hell,we were stuffed.

It's nice to know the Chinese have a place to stop off and work before making the final hop to the UK, and benefits galore.

Enjoyed the meal so much, we forgot to take photos.

Managed this one picture of John Roberts in the fancy dress isle at a shop on the way back.

WABBIT. IT's A WABBIT

A husky's instinct is to search for food.

So every rabbit hole on every walk has to be investigated!

THE DECORATING CONTINUES

This week it was the turn of the back bedroom to get a makeover.

We found wallpaper that went exactly with the curtains and bedding (when it's made)

This is the room we normally stick the sister in law in when she visits.

It's now been re-named "The Warthog Suite"

NEW CAMERA - FIRST PICTURES

Testing Testing 123.

The first two pictures off the new camera.

Bella checking it out.

Marie prepares to re-paint the downstairs radiator.

Burgundy will be the finished article.

DARTS FINALS DAY ASSURED

A 14-5 v victory against Pleneuf Val Andre means we are guaranteed our place in the Champions League in Laval on 22nd May.

Top two in our league qualify for the competition.

If we beat La Baroque on 18th March we will also be promoted to the national league. The smallest village ever to do it!

BACK TO NORMAL TOMORROW

New pictures with a new camera. We are back.

DAMN - THE CAMERA BROKE

No new pictures for a few days as the camera has died.

We will go and have a look next week for a new one.

DARTS DEFEAT

Beaten by Matignon 13-6 on Thursday means we won't be mirroring the exploits of last season in the Coupe de France.

However we are still top of the league and expect to make champions day in Laval on 28th May.

DECORATING

Time to start some much needed decorating. The front room was first this weekend, followed by the bedrooms in future weeks.

Marie chose the colour (Bournemouth Council Deckchair Cerise)

The finished wall. Note how the water buffalo blends in with the colour.
