A wet and cool Charente Maritime


Both Friday and Saturday nights were nights to be in by a roaring log fire and that's exactly what we did. The rain put us off the idea of playing golf and the journeys to Marlonges precluded any future afield travels. Still it has been a lovely way to spend the weekend with birthday treat galore.

There was no real DIY to do although there are a couple of finishing touches to do here and there. It is ridiculous to suggest inanimate object can feel things but the house does seem to enjoy having people around. It has been almost continuously occupied since April 13th and Frank and Anne will be back here on Thursday.

We have started to talk to Pat about her returning to England as the Maison de Convalescence thinks the time is not too far away, maybe as soon as next weekend. Sunday morning is a dismal as yesterday so a bit of breakfast, a few domestic chores, a visit to Marlonges, a meal and then back to the airport for the six o'clock flight to Stansted.

Out in the back yard one of the yucca type plants seems to have sprouted flowers - see picture.
