Wish you where here.

A neighourly meal that did not go quite as planned, before the third lockdown here in France.

Unusual for me …😄, I had prepared on time and by request, a traditional British roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and gravy, roast potatos and fresh green veggies 🙂.

Immobile?

Orange, I’m seeing red !

Following a long conversation with the unhelpful Orange.fr help line I’m advised I need a new phone even though the present phone was bought from Orange, March 2018.

Special NOTICE : 23.02.2021 : To contact me email is best at present, I’ve problems receiving and sending via my mobile phone.

My mobile is refusing to update & has lost Whatsapp.

A grand day

Wish you were here …

Mes visiteurs, une trés belle journée avec Alex, Manu, Neils, Abie and Heidi.

We used to live nearby when all in the Tarn, then they moved to N E France and I to the N West.

Happily they have now moved to the Vendée, only a couple of hours or less South of my home.🙂

Free At Roche-Bernard

A lively musical evening at the Pisse Mémé, Roche-Bernard.

Wish you were here, there is more of this free ‘gold ore’ tonight and tomorrow night, this weekend is a French national holiday.

A few hasty impressions with my new camera.

Les visiteurs ! Elodie, Jean Marc and Louis. No painting today, a long merry lunch together, time on the beach including swimming. After which, a light supper at my place, special moments with new friends, wish you where here to share it.

Painting Présentation

Marine-Painting, cadre et présentation, being France, first a French lunch meaning from 12,00 to 17,00 !

The lunch being served by our hosts Philippe and Sylvie Bossis at their beautiful mansion.

Lunch starting in classical style with ‘nibbles’, little delicacies each with it’s own distinctive flavour.

Each and every delicious morcele and this including the ‘Pain Surprise’ which is a bread with each layer made of sandwiches with a different filling.
