Morning all Welcome to anyone who has joined. I have seen Brambleberry, thanks for joining. I am hoping we will get used to this new format without any problems. It feels good to have this facility once more. Very busy just now, it is full steam ahead to get the second Gite ready. We hope to be ready for August. P is now working on the final Gite. The weather is very hot again which makes outside work difficult. I am getting on well with the cardigan I am knitting and am enjoying doing it! I am making an effort to finish off things now and not buy any more fabric or wool. Have to see how long that one lasts! I have really missed our forum but hope we make a go of this. It will take ages to build up the information but feel it is worth a try.

Hi Aly, thanks for doing this, we don't seem to be getting anywhere with the other :-( Very hot and sunny here, too hot for me so I won't be doing anything outside. I can't do any crocheting in this weather. Just about to do lunch, will come back later for a proper look round.

Good Afternoon all, could not get n before as my Friend came early, and has just gone. Not nice here, when is it? Grey kind of warm, then cold, peculiar Day. Iknuckled down to Crafting, as I always do when she brings her Knitting, we don't say much, just have a lovely peaceful Day. So glad we are back up and running Aly, Thanks, once again. How is Dick? And have any more Chicks hatched? Better get my Dinner prepared, while I still have a bit of get up and go, left. bbl Tina x

Good morning, it's lovely here again today, pollen forecast v.high though....there's always something isn't there! Off to town this morning as we both need new footwear - my favourite toe post sandals I've had for years have finally given up the ghost, and husband's dog walking trainers have split in several places. Also need to go in Wilko's for a couple of household things, and a quick top up food shop on the way home. Not taking Betty....we have been trialling leaving her home alone for an hour or 2 at a time, and she seems to be absolutely fine with it. She doesn't like the heat anyway, so it's best she's got her cool gel mat under the stairs to lie on, rather than travelling in a hot car and one of us having to stay with her whilst the other shops, and then swapping over.
I'm very happy we've got this new forum, FB is all very well but it's not the same is it? Thanks again Aly.

Think Sue is in Touch, but I do have her Address. I tried to add, Baking, but do not know how to create a new Thread. Bit off more than I can chew with the Kitchen, half opened Packets of the same Thing, Lables fallen off, going to take me ages, have not got my Cake in the Oven, yet.

Morning Feels cooler this morning and it was better overnight. Changeover today so need to be ready. Current guests leave by 10 and new ones arrive any time after 4. Think these ones may be back as they are still looking for a property. My new carte vitale arrived yesterday, this is my health care entitlement card. I need to visit the chemist in the village to get my top up insurance put on and ensure it works! Although this has dragged since April the final part was really quick. Once they sent me the application form it only took two weeks. I am pleased I will have it for my next trip to the dentist! Next week we are doing our annual trip to the U.K. As always lots to organize before hand. We have several friends to catch up with. Also daughters Citroen Picasso is right hand drive and the steering column has a leak so need replacing. Could not get one here! The car is with our chap in the village who will remove it, bring it to us. We are taking it to the U.K. Where a company will deliver a new one next Monday to brother in laws house and take the broken one in exchange. They will fix it then sell it on! We then bring back the new one and our chap will fit it! Sometimes it is complicated here! Will get a few other bits done but main focus is on the Gite.

Morning all, much nicer Day here, not that warm at the Moment, but Sunny. You are certainly going to be busy Today, Aly, hope Dick will be well looked after while you are away! You will enjoy your Break, hope the Weather is kind to you. Family, are coming up, have told them I need my Raspberries picking, or I will lose them, either to the Weather, or the Birds. Will be out most of the Day, if the Sun keeps shining, so have a good Day all. bbl Lunchtime. Tina x

Morning ladies, sun coming and going but it's very warm and muggy still. Not planning on doing much today, other than making dog food and another crustless quiche. Got a tub of readymade bolognaise out of the freezer for dinner tonight, so no cooking involved later. I'd love to do some crocheting, but it's just too sticky. Might just sit and read this afternoon, in the garden if it's not too sunny.

I always leave daughter instructions to ensure all are ok. The dogs go the kennel for their holiday. They are always exhausted from playing with other dogs when they come home and take a couple of days to recover. Dick is looking very strong running about happily. It does not seem bothered about being the only one!
