Hi Lily and Lisa Sorry I've not been around for a while, what with Mum's funeral (which I cried all the way through), the weather being good and doing lots of gardening, and watching a programme on Amazon Prime (membership on a trial period, I was intending to cancel) called This Is Us, I am totally addicted. I don't like to sit watching TV during the day, I try to keep busy but there is only so much gardening and housework you can do. Lily your mother's day treat, a roast dinner sounded very nice and I expect it surprised you too. I agree when one of our children leaves the nest it takes a while to get used to. I hope to visit the children in the UK at some time this year, I didn't get across last year at all and feel I've missed out on so much of the grandchildren. Sorry that your holiday was cancelled again. Lisa I'm pleased to hear from you and that all is well. As I said before my vegetable garden has helped to lose myself, so this year we are growing leeks, and courgettes from plants, runner beans, peas, carrots and hopefully some green veg from seeds. I love seeing seeds turn into plants, especially edible ones. As you've come out of lockdown, we have just gone back into one. It's possible to go out for shopping and essentials, I go out as little as possible, to avoid coming into contact with people. I've turned into a bit of a recluse, but that's my life, the same as usual when here alone. Travel beyond 10 kms is only possible for an essential reason. A lot of people in France feel the president should have gone into a lock down 2 months ago, but he's a business man and hoping to be re-elected next year so the economy meant more to him than lives! Hope you can enjoy some freedom now, when is your 2nd vaccination Lily? Mine should be in about a month. Take care, much love Carole xxx
