    Maybe the children wanted to be together, Obelixx, or maybe they have other family members and friends coming to stay in the other rooms. But what a coincidence to meet them!

    Been making bread and then marinating chicken for the bring and share lunch we are going to tomorrow.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Afternoon all. I've just harvested 900g of blackberries, there's about the same waiting for me to harvest this afternoon.

    To work out what to do with them!

    Apple and blackberry pie or crumble or cobbler.  Blackberry jam.  Freeze in portions for puds later.

    Busy - boys are 16 and 14.  Girls are 11 or 12.   Her parents live nearby.   Your play scenery looks good.  The Brussels Shakespeare company does an outdoor play every summer in the grounds of Corroy-le-Chateau, just the other side of Gembloux from our old house.  Beautiful medieval castle with round towers, pointy hats and a moat.   The comte de Trazegnies is lovely - crossed paths on twinning events - but his mum is/was a harridan of the first order and saw off any prospective DILs.

    Lunch sounds good fun.

    Hello folks ... I'm back home ... a lovely day with Wonky and a successful shopping trip completed image   ... Wonky also managed to organise herself a new phone as her other one had been run over by the tractor!!!!!!!!!  It still works but the screen is so badly cracked that texting is 'difficult'

    However I've not walked so far since I broke my foot, so tonight I'll put my feet up and we'll have a takeaway delivered image

    Strawberries successfully moved from the Hosta tunnel onto the allotment. ( room for more Hostas image)

    Suddenly there doesn't seem to be so many beds as it looked when they were all empty.

    We're watching The man in the orange shirt again tonight as there's not one single thing on we want to watch.
