Les joined us for the weekend last week. Sadly his cousin recently died, and Les came over for the funeral in Somerset on Friday (13th!). Chantal drove down to be with her family, and she and Les stayed over with Noel and Angela in Yeovil, returning g here on Saturday afternoon.
Despite the sad circumstances we had a nice weekend, doing nothing in particular, just relaxing and catching up. On the Monday Les and Andree joined us to go to the cinema, to see “Lady in the Van” (recommended, unless action stuff is your thing…) and then later Les Chantal and I went out for a meal. Fortunately, before it was too late, I had realised that Les hadn’t been to the pub for a decent beer and so suggested pub grub even though Chantal had prepared a meal. Strangely Chantal has trouble understanding the significance of the pub culture to an ex-pat Brit.
The beer may explain why a photo session when we got home produced some variable results.
Les flew home on Tuesday
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
