Getting over yesterday

Posted on July 21, 2019 by Gary

Churches are empty; restaurants are full. Welcome to France

Posted on July 20, 2019 by Gary

It’s fair to say that one needs a bit of adventure every now and then. Holiday plans that run smoothly do tend to get a bit dull after a while. Booked hotels, restaurants, world famous museums and car rentals are … Continue reading →

That’s a bit urgent

Posted on July 19, 2019 by Gary

Because our flight leaves at such an ungodly hour tomorrow morning, we decided it made a lot more sense to stay at a hotel near the airport. The only hotel near Southanpton airport is the Premier Inn which boasts that … Continue reading →

A new visit from Senor Gouty Foot

Gym day

Posted on July 15, 2019 by Gary

A fox stole Corky’s toy

Posted on July 14, 2019 by Gary

We had a very full day today though it started slowly enough. Being a Sunday meant a bit of a sleep-in for me, a bigger sleep-in for Mirinda and the usual slow walk into town with my trusty wicker trolley; … Continue reading →

Super chilled about art

Posted on July 13, 2019 by Gary

I am, most decidedly, a sceptic. I rarely believe anything on someone’s say so. The only faith I have is that the next mass extinction event will be the complete eradication of humanity because, like any climax woodland, only the … Continue reading →

Back to the country

Posted on July 12, 2019 by Gary
