Wednesday, 27 August 2014 8:12 pm The bois buzzing around beautiful Bordeaux Bon soiree We are on the move, literally! The lad has joined me on my morning walks, sadly they are more dawdles than power walks, but the company is superb and he’s doing well! We were to depart Adelaide with Cathy Pacific at […]

Monday, 1 September 2014 5:55 pm Sunning ourselves in San Sebastiano, life is tough……. Dear All It’s a tad like world War Three here at the moment, there are canons blazing, bells ringing, muskets shooting, and 300 drummers drumming, and if I did not know better I would have thought our illustrious Prime Mister had […]

Friday, 5 September 2014 12:21 am Still sunning ourselves in San Sebastian but Portugal here we come… I am starting this whist still in San Seb, as I am not sure what internet we will have for the next few days. The weather has been divine, the natives friendly and food stunning, so there’s no […]

Thursday, 9 October 2014 1:39 pm We have been to “a lovely Party!” *   Well it’s time I pulled the finger out and just got on with it! Find yourself a magnum of wine and start reading, (after this week 1500ml magnums are the new 750ml bottle). When last I wrote we were departing […]
