FIA18

Posted on July 21, 2018 by Gary

And so today was our two yearly trip to see the planes at Farnborough. This is our third time and easily the worst. I’m not really sure why everything has changed but it has and it’s not for the better. … Continue reading →

Subs, Vets and Balloonists

Posted on July 20, 2018 by Gary

I worked from home today. As much as I love going into the centre, I didn’t like the idea of leaving the dogs on their own two days in a row (we have the air show tomorrow). And so we … Continue reading →

Parched

Posted on July 19, 2018 by Gary

We haven’t had a sustained period of rain for ages. According to Neighbour Dave, there was 90 minutes of almost heavy rain while we were away but that was it. Oddly, we haven’t been issued with a hose pipe ban … Continue reading →

OMAD

Posted on July 18, 2018 by Gary

Today was so busy I forgot to take any photos. That hasn’t happened for a long time. I washed the girls before heading for the gym first thing then back home to Skype with mum. Then, after a bit of … Continue reading →

Freya’s ear

Posted on July 16, 2018 by Gary

I didn’t mention this at the end of yesterday’s post because it didn’t really have anything to do with our holiday and it was almost midnight…so. Last night, just before sleep, Mirinda decided to give Freya’s ears a good pluck. … Continue reading →

Being jolly at the airport

Posted on July 15, 2018 by Gary

One of the reasons we don’t normally get planes to France is the fact that Mirinda doesn’t like them. She dislikes the entire process: customs, security, border control, etc. Every step along the route causes her greater and greater annoyance. … Continue reading →

Saying goodbye…twice

Posted on July 14, 2018 by Gary

It seems like a few months ago that we first turned up in Tremolat. We have felt so at home in the gite, with the pool and the privacy, it’s a shame we now have to leave it. Mirinda asked … Continue reading →

Murmuring not shouting

Posted on July 13, 2018 by Gary

Into every holiday some rain must fall even if it’s metaphorical. Today was our wet day. Appropriately we went to the aquarium at Le Bugue. Mirinda loves aquariums. Mirinda hated this one. I have to agree with her. The whole … Continue reading →

Life up high

Posted on July 12, 2018 by Gary

“Do you see those rock ledges up there?” Asked the lord of Reignac. “Where, sir? Do you mean the ones where the prehistoric men lived? The ones we can hardly see because the distance is so great and they are … Continue reading →
