February 2020

As a tribute to our dear little dog, Tashi Delek, I had a  metal work dog made by our friend Willie. It was to be a Christmas present for Ni. But of course when I first asked about this, I didnt know that Tashi would no longer be with us.  So it remains a poignant reminder of her presence, as if we need that!

Spring has definitely sprung here at the moment. Cherry trees are blossoming away, as are japonicas. Today on our drive to Carcassonne we saw rows of daffodiles sparkling in the sunshine.

Everyone in port is busily scrubbing away and cleaning, repainting their boats ready for the off. Some have indeed already left for waters new. Others yet to return.

We are looking forward to the British Film Festival week, with lots of good films in VO.  We have the added delight of C&C fish & chips. Gosh, you miss them SO much when you can't get them, even if you only ate them twice a year in the UK, but they were there to be had.

Having packed and transported our belongings from Gesina to the gite, The Old Lady looks quite tidy, but bare.

Empty galley!

 And this is where it has all gone, temporarily, but not for too long we hope!
