    We took the car in for the dead dipped light bulb. They lent us a car to go to the hairdresser (not swishing, bit too short), OH's physio and Morrisons. The garage said the light was a real fiddle, had to take the bumper off to get at it. 

    After that we went to lunch by Southwold harbour, lovely fish place, looks like a wooden mountain place inside, warm and cosy. The East wind outside was freezing, straight from the North Sea.

    I'm back to France tomorrow. OH will follow a week later as he has to have his last physio session before the report can be sent to his doctor.

    Serious amounts of wet stuff forecast here for tomorrow @Busy-Lizzie.  Hope it doesn't affect your journey home.   Have a safe trip.

    Thank you Lizzie, Dove and Obelixx. I don't really want to go back. We thought about coming back to Norfolk in December, there are a couple of really cheap flights but the French have announced a General Strike for that time. Supposed to affect airport ground staff, public workers, teachers, hospitals, trains and cause general chaos. I don't think they like Macron's latest ideas about pension reforms.

    We watched an episode of ‘Escape to the Continent’ last night. It was to the Dordogne. I kept looking out for a tea shop cafe that might have been DD’s, but couldn’t see one. 😃  They were around Bergerac area mostly.

    DD is a lot further north than Bergerac @Pat E, about 2 hours I think. Did you like the look of Dordogne?

    Same sort of distance as Canberra to Bateman's Bay @Pat E and the terrain is just as varied in between.

    Yes @Obelixx ... those are all a regular part of my diet ... my problem is familial elevated cholesterol levels coupled with the under-active thyroid which pushes cholesterol up, exacerbated by the need to keep dietary calcium levels up due to taking levothyroxine coupled with my body’s inability to tolerate calcium supplements ... a ‘perfect storm’ really. Not helped by difficulty exercising due to recurring joint problems.  I blame a design fault 🙄 
    You and I didn't choose our parents very wisely.....
