Activities

Well we set to with a will to be productive. Shrubs were hacked, beds dug out, large bay tree in barrel rolled to the other side of the garden and planted by the hedge.

There had been a half hearted plan to paint the living room and paint had even been procured at B and Q. It remains to be done...enthusiasm somewhat lacking.








Instead Adrian has been writing a daily blog about French Lighthouses. I finished the Hilary Mantel Thomas Cromwell trilogy and wept buckets. I have also started learning Norwegian. Why? Well why not?
Hei! Jeg heter Mary og jeg bor i Devon. Hyggelig å hilse på deg. Vi har også et hus i Frankrike men vi kann ikke reise nå.

And the baskets called to me again. Willow was ordered online from Musgroves and came next day! Three have been done so far. This one’s a replacement log basket I promised Adrian. Others can be seen in the photo diary.









Listening to The Archers is on hold because they can’t get the actors together in a studio - social distancing you see. Plus most of the cast are too ancient to risk! Nearly every broadcaster is recording their programme from the kitchen table or under the duvet. Live shows are coming via Zoom or remote cameras. Only the TV news seems able to have two people at a time, either side of a two metre table. It’s the New Normal.
