Deux Matelots en Bretagne

Tuesday, 26 October 2010

We are more prepared this winter with a huge stock of wood to burn.

We had to light the fire last week for the first time this autumn.

Al has chopped stacks of wood over the summer.

And there is still plenty in reserve.

Hopefully the fuel strikes will ease off now and we can get our order of domestic fuel for the central heating.

We took the dogs out on a couple of extra long walks around the village last week.

it's really deep into autumn now as these pictures show.

It's getting cold too!

The darts team have taken to National level very well indeed.

Dol de Bretagne were beaten 13-6 last night in a very impressive performance.

With a squad of 6 this year, we are confident we can make the step up to the semi pro ranks.

The gard acres has had it's final mow of the season. No more mowing till March.

On the veg patch, sprouts, parsnips, leeks and carrots are booming.

They will be shortly followed by winter lettuce.

I have seen on the news that David Cameron visited Northwood today to spin the governments defence policy.

Thank the lord Ash Rajyaguru is long gone , or brown tongues would be everywhere.

It's my old job in security at Northwood. I hope you all survived the "Hog Wash", and someone helped George Chaney get up off his knees!

The picture above shows military personnel at Northwood being too scared to speak out at the defence cuts.

My old country is diabolical!

It was confirmed this morning.

The 2011 Tour is coming to Brittany.

3 stages in all.

The best being Carhaix to Cap Frehel, about 15 minutes away on 6th July.

Also a stage will start at Dinan on the 7th.

Get your bookings to stay in early.

I'm in training!

I don't know if it is the warm evenings, but the bugs are out in force at night.

Obviously fields have to be manured this time of year which does not help.

Plenty of hornets are around, especially about 11pm.

It's like the drone of 644 squadron coming over the garden.
