Posted on February 29, 2016 by Gary

Before I go any further (that’s not hard when I’ve not started writing yet…still) I forgot that we went to an antiques market yesterday. It was at St Honore’s Place and Mirinda made her first Paris antique purchase! Two plates. … Continue reading →

Posted on February 28, 2016 by Gary

In the early hours of this morning we were rudely awoken by a smoke alarm. We didn’t know it was a smoke alarm at the time, thinking it was some ridiculous car alarm going off but, this morning, we were … Continue reading →

Impromptu Paris

Posted on February 27, 2016 by Gary

It’s always lovely waking up in Paris. We arrived on the Eurostar last night, checking in to the lovely Maison Athenee just after 10:30. We’re here because Mirinda has a work thing on Monday so she suggested we make a … Continue reading →

Hum drum

Kennel

Posted on February 22, 2016 by Gary

About the only truly constructive thing I managed today was continuing to undercoat the kennel. It’s still not completely covered but it should be tomorrow. While the weather didn’t show a lot of promise early on (I stood in the … Continue reading →

Sunday at Hankley

Posted on February 21, 2016 by Gary

Tonight we went to the newest Bel & the Dragon, the one at Odiham. We initially booked it to celebrate the anniversary of our arrival in the UK. Given what happened this week, we also celebrated Day-z’s life. Earlier in … Continue reading →
