Back in Ireland
(Passing gates, grass, hedges and ploughed fields on our way home…) We did indeed have calm seas with just a bit of waving motion which I don’t like so I went back to bed until it passed. When we finally … Continue reading
I might be hallucinating…
(We found another amazing Beautiful Village of France) It’s a wee bit dreary today. I’d love to sit by the fire eating some scones just out of the oven. I suppose it had to happen, I’m suffering from scone-sickness. Croissants, … Continue reading
The Lovely Gentleman of La Flèche
(That’s the gate of the military school on the right and the spire of the church with the ashes to the left) We spent three nights in La Flèche, the longest we’ve stayed anywhere this trip. On Saturday I went … Continue reading

Brives Charensac
(Cheerful flowers) We were passing through a lovely little town, with a long name, this morning and we stopped to have a look around. No big deal, you think… but it kinda is. You see, we’re normally too big to … Continue reading

(Gorges de la Loire, from the village on the hill) We stayed a second night looking down on the Loire and it was just as quiet as the first. We didn’t get to use the jetons though as we were … Continue reading
