Steve and Sue have retired now, and would like to thank the 700 families that took nearly 1000 holidays with us over the past years. We enjoyed meeting you and so many of you returned many times and became firm friends. We'll let you know what we're doing from time to time, and don't forget if you're in the area, give us a call and come and have a cuppa!

You couldn't make it up. Musk/Trump fire atomic safety staff, locking them out of their ge-mail accounts. Now they realise they need to hire them again they can't get in touch with them. Ha, bloody ha!

On the one hand the hostile environment, on the other a country that publishes it's list of successful applicants for naturalisation on 24th December. Best Christmas present ever for Hannah, and one more problem solved

This little girl stunned herself on our kitchen window this week. It's a female black cap identified by my bird watching friends, Liz and Char. They're shy birds and she was clearly terrified by her exposure so I put a box with one side open over her, and after a couple of hours she recovered and shot off; gives me a sense of enormous wellbeing (Parklife!)

We're mourning the death of Jaques Chirac over here, who was president during our first seven years in France. He is well liked and famous for his humour.
One story is that during an official visit to London he was sitting in a an open-top carriage alongside Queen Elizabeth, when the horse in front of them suddenly broke wind.
The Queen, embarrassed, felt obliged to apologise to the French President - who replied: "It doesn't matter, I thought it was the horse."
There's no record of the Queen's reaction......
