I don't suppose you've missed the updates but to be honest and despite having had a good time back in Blighty there hasn't been that much to report. Barbara managed to do a couple of weeks 'cousining' and I managed to put some of new skills to work and laid a new path at the house in Blackpool. I always feel guilty when Barbara is away working and it's amazing how much work gets done. She's back to the UK next week for a few days with her mum, who's been with us since we returned, so I guess I'll be hard at it again!!!
We had a very busy Easter with Rebecca, Matthew & Jill all descending on us for a few days. Good job the house has flexible sides and we know the next door neighbour well enough to let Rebecca sleep there! We had a great time and one final curry before we packed our bags and headed back south for the summer. We arrived back in Lagarrigue on Thursday 8th and discovered that not much had changed apart from the grass having grown to nearly waist high. The garden is a tad larger than the one in Blackpool so it was out with the strimmer and mower for a day or so. All went well until the mower drive belt snapped and the Land Rover had to be called upon to tow the mower out of the field and on to the trailer for passage to the local repair shop where it'll take two weeks to repair. Think we'll need a new strimmer by then.
Well that's it for now, hopefully I'll be back in regular blogging mode now and will have something of interest to report on soon. Bye for now.
