    Morning Debs, Chive and Rosie. I love that view from your lodge Debs. Happy chat with your Mum and sis today Chive. Rosie, I think you are turning into a cat with all these short snoozes and night time activities. Do you ever feel the urge to go out hunting at night when you wake up in the early hours?

    Afternoon all.
    Enjoy your weekend away Debs - gorgeous view from your lodge.

    It’s another glorious day here - wall to wall sunshine. OH is on the slopes again so I went into town. There’s a rather lovely old church on the other side of the river with what appear to be a good series of medieval wall paintings.

    Walking up from the bus stop at about 5 to 10 the bells started ringing. Definitely not the o’clock bells. Got to the church with growing suspicion something might be going on inside. The sign saying “Church service - no sightseeing” was not out (I could see it tucked away in a corner) so I went in. From the congregation, the dress, the sniffles and hankies I think I probably gate-crashed a funeral 😳

    Wasn’t immediately obvious as there were a few people in everyday clothes stood at the back of the church and at least 6 people turned up and joined the congregation even though the service had clearly started some minutes earlier. I’ve been to several funerals and I don’t think I’ve ever known people arrive late. It’s one of the few life events people seem to make an effort to be extra early for.

    Anyway I stood discreetly at the back while I sussed what was happening. Saw a little bit of the paintings (they were good!) and left as quietly as I went in. As I walked down the road another 3 people were dashing up the street to the church. Very strange.

    Walked back into town and had a bit of a nosey round the shops. Market day so that always makes it more interesting. Love that at least one stall was selling loose salad leaves and loose herbs. Wish I could get those here. The fruit and veg were displayed beautifully.

    It was still well below freezing when I left for town but by lunchtime I was far too hot. Treated myself to a technical winter jumper in the sales - it’s very, very effective!

    Cup of tea now then sauna when OH gets back.

    Afties all. Oh T'Bird, you've brought back happy memories. I love the markets at the weekends in France. All the lovely home grown salads, vegetables and fruits on display and the stall holder just giving you a big washing up bowl to collect everything you want in and then they reckon it all up. Magic! Somehow their tomatoes always taste fantastic and they don't have the thick skins that resist knives slicing in to them. Just very yummy.

    TBird thank you for a lovely description of your interesting day .

    Good grief! I've just looked at the weekend forecast and in my area on Sunday they are talking of strong winds and thundery showers. Storm Ciara will be making it's presence felt. Yellow warnings for both rain and wind - joy!
