Today is the last day in France for our daughter and her family. I don't envy them the journey back - leaving St Germain at stupid o'clock then a six hour torture session (sorry, ferry crossing)! We're pleased that they and their friends have enjoyed their stay in our little second home and that it has proved a hit with our grandsons. On Wednesday two important things will happen; we will celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary and the builder will move into our French house. Although he is very good at his job and has promised us regular e-mail updates with photos, the next six weeks are going to pass very slowly until we can go and see the improvements "in the stone". We will, hiccups permitting, then have a new bedroom and - oh joy - an upstairs bathroom and loo, shortly followed by a new staircase all of which will make the place more suitable for seniors who have to make visits to the loo in the middle of the night!
Not that we are without things to do here. Friends to visit, furniture to finish, mother to take to a couple of hospital appointments - and that's just this week! We're also in the throes of arranging a joint 60th birthday party and sent the invitations out today. The idea is that all our guests will take part in a skittles match on the wonderful, old-fashioned skittle alley boasted by the venue. We're getting in plenty of practice on the Wii the family bought us as a joint present and wondering if we'll be as good with a real ball!!
