A Bientot!
M approved of The Dragon House and enjoyed his partridge, roasted vegetable Tarte Tatin and Panache of chocolate with vanilla short-cake and vanilla ice-cream. On Saturday morning he took me to the nursery so I could stock up with compost, and plants but helas we were too late for lobelia – first time ever. What with three heavy bags of compost I was thankful he is a big strong man.
Almost forgot – on Friday afternoon we met Sheila – she liked the house and we liked her and oh joy I am going to have weekly help in the house and more as she gets freedom. Back to Saturday – after lunch and a sit in the sun it was time for M to start the long journey home – a long drive cross country, an overnight stay and home in Tour the next day. Happily the whole family will come in the autumn - the children were disappointed that school prevented them from coming this time.
It was a lovely visit and well worth cancelling our ballet trip in
It’s the longest day today so mind you make the most of it and for those of you lucky enough to still have your fathers, hugs and kisses are mandatory.
