BELLA'S 9TH BIRTHDAY

9 years old today.

As much fun as ever.

Ball crazy..

..stick crazy,

food crazy.

Totally crazy.

SHAKING AND BAKING

The last of the winter veg has been lifted.

A batch of leeks.

Turned in to a leek, potato and

4 cheese pie with parmesan crust.

SADLY DEPARTED

Today is the final journey of friend and shipmate

Den Jarrett.

2 great years on HMS Invincible with Den.

Will be remembered with great fondness.

We are both so glad he came out here with Gill and

spent a few days with us last year.

Took a drop of rum down to the village lake,

and toasted his life. RIP. 

FIRST VISITORS GONE

Chrissy and Eamonn have been over for

a fortnight.

A few meals out and a

general relaxing time.

SAINT NAZAIRE

Had a couple of days down in St Nazaire,

with the Royal Navy Association and friends

to pay respects to all those who took part

in "Operation Chariot" in March 1942.

The ceremony was down at the memorial

Tuesday 28th 1130hrs.

Met up with Gary and Des, whilst

Eamon and Chrissy are here for a for

a fortnight.

Wreath laying is part of the stuff our branch

does in France

A great parade carried out by both

French and UK serving forces,

along with veterans.

JUST BLOODY GREAT

Once every 6 months you have to clean the

stones in the septic tank.

Not the most pleasant of tasks.

..especially when you get covered in shite!

ALL QUIET

Really has been a quiet few weeks since Xmas.

The weather warmed up and went cold again.

Soon be time to sort the garden out tho, and 

start planting.

Have been out and about on the scooter for

amusement.

Above is the presbytaire at Plancoet, and 

below. A very quiet village lake.
