Capital city

Spent the day in London with Suzy, Lisa and Sam. Great day, thanks all!

Will it rain?

Threatening skies on our dog walk today but fortunately it stayed dry for us.

Exercise?

I bought a balance ball today, other than a bike (which is transport really) it is the first thing for exercise I have ever bought! Hope it helps my ankles more than anything.

Another new toy

Now replaced two of the three petrol engines tools which were stolen, and no tree is safe!

Cars 2

Just been to see Cars 2 - great film, fabulous attention to detail for petrolheads!

Bike ride

First bike ride I gave had for ages, I didn't go far but at least I went!

Thinking about a replacement car

I went to look at this today as it is one of the sensible cars I have been considering:

After looking at it I came home and searched for some more and found this which looks good:

MOT pass!

Finally, my car has an MOT again and I am able to drive it. Big relief and very happy.

Back home

Failure day - back at work, busy day and I forgot to take a picture. Probably only a pile of post or something if I had anyway! Normal service tomorrow hopefully!

Hello England!

Nice sunset over the white cliffs to welcome us back to England

Last day

The final result of nearly a month of work, the roof as seen from the track across the road.

Swim time

A quick swim in the sea this evening, not as warm as expected but very refreshing!

Concerneau

Spent a pleasant afternoon in Concarneau, great icecream!

Shadows concert!

A concert in Gare de Motreff with the Shadows. Actually "Skeudou Are Shads", and Cliff didn't put in an appearance.  Good fun though!

C'est fini!

Ridge pieces on so all watertight now. Woo-hoo!

Panels all on

End panels now fitted, they went on fairly easily inn center cut correctly to clear thhre telegraph pole!

Very close

Only the end pieces, which need cutting, left to do.

Nearly there

Pretty good progress today but a "French day" socialising with neighbours meant we didn't get quite as far as I hoped.

And the answer is.....

.....five panels fitted today, 1/3 of the way there, possibly get the rest on tomorrow. The ridge pieces will take longer!

Ready for the cover!

All the wood reinforced, ready to start putting the metal sheets on now, let's see how many we can do tomorrow!

Shutters finished

The shutters I started making at Easter are now finished with all the centre lock-bar fittings installed.

La Faou

Had a walk around La Faou and a great lunch at La Frégate creperie.

Bad food!

In a Travelodge in Southampton with a Domino's pizza this evening. Not great.

Back to the UK

Back to the UK for a bit of paying  work for a couple of days.

Finished

Well, not quite finished but ready to start putting new materials on.

Almost there

All the ridge tiles off and the last of the wood stripped. Only two hornet stings today too, but 4 nests removed.
