We are in a country hotel not far from the motorway. Dinner last night was delicious and the king size bed is comfy.
The crossing on the ferry was very smooth but it took ages to leave Dieppe. We were among the first on the ferry but the last to leave. That has happened before at Dieppe, maybe we should arrive late to Newhaven. Then the road was closed leaving Dieppe and the diversion was very congested. But after Rouen the motorway was almost empty.
A bit over 5 hours to drive and we will be home, but we'll have to go to the SM.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Very cold this morning and no rain, but at least we’ve been to town and done our weekly shopping. Glad to be home and having a lovely strong cuppa. I’ve started buying breadsticks instead of sweet biscuits, so you should be able to see my halo (because of reduced sugar intake ) 😉
Morning everyone, a bit damp here too, but it can't have been much as the rain shadow round most of the pots was still dry. Off to Capel Manor today, haven't been for a couple of weeks, hope the traffic is better than last time.
Morning all, we had a horrendous storm last night right overhead, I thought the house might come down!! SM shop this morning but have to go to the 'tri selectif' on the way to deposit our cardboard, cans, bottles for recycling. the non recycling goes in a black sack which goes in the 'poubelle' just down from our house and is collected weekly. Catch up with you all later.
A day of garden pottering for me. Watered the pots/hanging baskets first thing and first load of washing is out. Female flowers have started on my pumpkin so once they fully open I will hand fertilise with the males and hope we see fruits forming! Might be a tad on the late side but worth a go.
Gosh @AuntyRach - that's very technical of you! I would have no idea how to do that.
Hope Punkdoc is behaving himself. He must learn to be a patient patient.
And hope Coccinella is feeling less anxious too.
Full pelt on Festival preparations for me. We are having a pop-up shop so I was there helping clean it and today I must get the stuff I am going to sell in it sorted out. And get all the events in the programme listed on the website! Glad it keeps raining - saves me a job.
