Last weekend in May

A Nantilly Note from afar.

This weekend Frank and Anne based themselves at the house and on Saturday collected Pat from Chateau Marlonge. They spent the evening at the house with Frank preparing and serving dinner as Pat and Anne enjoyed the summer evening in the back yard. By all accounts some gardening was done. One hopes the stopover at the house has dispelled some of the bad memories of her first attempt to spend a night here.

Pat made her way up the stairs for a comfortable night before setting off on stage one of her grand return. Step was a car journey (preceded by a bit of coastal sight seeing, to Poitiers. Stage two was a train journey to Lille and Stage three was being collected by Peter and Sheila and being chauffeured, via the Channel Tunnel to Beckenham.

It was a long day for Pat, reveille at 8.00am and arriving at Willow Court at 8.00pm.

It will be three weeks before we are back in Nantilly and it will seem strange that on that visit we may only have ourselves to please, and of course we are very pleased to have Pat so far down the road to recovery. The rest is up to her.
