Thanks. Will try and remember to have a look once guests have left.

Good morning
Yesterday’s sunrise was rather good. Long day visiting the prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux which are quite extraordinary.
Off to Bergerac today for a wander round the market and a good lunch with a frogmarch round the garden this afternoon!

Good morning
A schoolfriend and her husband are arriving today, staying till Friday. Despite leaving the U.K. for Canada when she was 17, where she’s lived ever since, we’ve managed to stay in good contact all these very long years. It’s going to be a great week!
Hope you have a good week ahead too.

Nipping out for a glass of wine rdv with some part time friends. That’s part-time in SWFrance, not part-time friends!
In other news I did a DIY fringe trim earlier. Not particularly successful I regret …

Good morning
Here’s a thought for the day …

Adventures are always good! Have a wonderful time.

10am? Thanks. I’ve been unsuccessfully searching for the time of the announcement. 11am for us in France …

Good morning
Today brings the announcement of the new Archbishop of Canterbury. This news will pass many by I’m sure, but it will have a great significance nevertheless. Hoping for great wisdom to have been exercised during the selection/discernment process.

Assortment of mushrooms on sale in my usual fruit & veg place in Marmande (le Potager de Cadram), some of which I’ve never seen before! The large ones top right were huge!

Important thread on perspective.
And justice
And doing good

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵

What a woman!
I'll always remember this heartwarming goodbye hug when she brought the chimp back to his home in the jungle.

May you rest in peace, Jane Goodall 💔
