I have, on several occasions, watched a large flock of sparrows that roost on some land close to the site. When they take off the combined power of their wing beats produce an audible crack. These images are rarely experienced in the UK today. Simple things give so much pleasure. Keith

The season of goodwill is upon us. A time to think of loved ones and  friends, where ever they be in the world, and those that are no longer with us but remain in our thoughts.
We  wish all of you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Jan and Keith

A monumental event. No, not the last breakfast broadcast by the TOG meister Sir Terence Wogan, we, along with others will miss him.

Sunday we took a drive into the hills. It is difficult to describe how pleasant it was, the pictures will give you an impression.  This is the first time that we have put our little car to the test, we are pleased with it. The type of roads are synonymous with mountain areas, winding with [...]

It’s Friday the 13th and we decided to move south. We are now at a site on the outskirts of L’Ametlla de Mar. It is more to our taste being smaller and in a  rural setting.  The weather as been the warmest yet making for a pleasant walk to the beach, beutiful clear water. There [...]

We joined a organisation called France passion. We paid twenty six pounds up front which allows us to stay at over two hundred locations throughout France for free. We are currently at a vineyard  just outside Angers. We were welcomed by madame and invited to taste the wine, felt obliged to buy some. And she [...]

Keith is trying some different beers, not keen on the blonde, 3 Monts is quite nice. At 8.5 and in 75cl bottles it needs handling with care. One bottle per evening makes a nice long drink.
