Yes Lizzie, it was Le Mont Dore. Our local village put on a coach trip for the day, We had such a good time and we will definitely be going again now I know what's there and how easy it is to get to.
Some other good news too, I have been very down lately and finding all the time in the house very depressing, I know I have been ill but still I was getting fed up with it. Anyway, I applied for a job in a local restaurant, just part time and unbelievable the owner has just offered me the job! They don't speak any English so the interview was all in French and obviously the customers in the main are French, so I was astonished that they picked me. It is just what I need to get me out the house and bring my French on to a more natural pace (I hope). And ALL the money is going on the garden, my own little budget.
Off to study the menu now so I don't make a complete fool of myself on the first day.
Happy Honeymoon Fidget and Happy Moving Day Lizzie.

Dove, do what you think is right, it's nit as if yiu are closing the thread down
Busy good luck I hope the weather is kind
Pat how you feeling today?
PDoc hope the worst is over and you manage a wee glass of something warming
skiing is something I really wish I had done as a youngster, just never seemed to happen. I look at all our lovely hills and sigh
Fidget I love being up and awake before everyone else, hardly happens tho! What are the flowers like, I think this is the time if year everything in full flower, photos?
DD I have decided you live in a different time zone, one that has 48 hours in the day, how you do all you do is just beyond me and now a job! however I am sorry to hear you have been a bit low, getting out the house is essential and Spring is not far off
its another very stormy day so no gardening. Each time I get out it seems I am just tidying up from the last storm, twigs, branches and a lot of rubbish from local takeaway

I've just had an hour in the garden - gooseberry bush has been pruned, autumn raspberries cut back, roses pruned (I know it's a bit early but I was in the mood, and it's a sheltered garden) and lots of perennial stems hacked down. I've filled the brown bin with prickly stuff. Is it tomorrow that our brown bin gets emptied or is it next Monday .. I shall have to watch the neighbours up the rise a bit, they always get it right.

Well done you DD. I hope it lifts your spirits , but , like others I hope you're not overdoing things. Maybe use some of your wages to get some help with all your chores, maybe just those you're not so keen on?
I've done a bit in the garden today. Took some photos, might post later after I've warmed up a bit.

Oh, and the first rhubarb has been pulled and a crumble has been made

Enjoy what's left of the weekend.
Has the hail stopped Hosta, or have you been in the polytunnel?
Can someone remind me to get some more Fish, Blood and Bone next time I go to the GC?

Dove, I've cleared the blackthorn under the oak tree to improve the views and to let it stand out more.
Hope you were wearing sturdy gloves!!!
