All Kinds of Weather

It looks as if there is an interesting week of weather ahead...

In the South of France

David is away in France this week - not in Toulouse but near Narbonne.

The hotel (built on a vineyard) and the view from the hotel look great, as does the ‘cheeseboard’....

Lambing at the Farm

Lambing is a magical time at the farm and it is a privilege to be able to go along and see the ewes with their new lambs.

Theo enjoyed his visits to the lambing shed..

And hanging out with the grown-up farmers!



Time for a quick family portrait with some other little families in the background!

Easter Egg Hunt

Theo thoroughly enjoyed his Easter Egg hunt at Aunty Maggie’s!

No competition from Charlie this year but no doubt that will change in the future.

New Twist on an old Favourite

At the Virgin Atlantic lounge at Dulles last night we noticed that they had changed their menu.  The fruits formerly known as ‘far-fetched’ which used to amuse us are now renamed as ‘exotic’.

This dish is new to the menu.  Can you guess what it is?

(Bangers and Mash flatbread none less - and a lot nicer than it may sound!)

A Stormy Good Friday

In Reston town centre this morning a sunny start turned into a dark and squally middle of the day.  Having been to the hairdresser I scuttled back to the car just before the heavy rain came.

Later, at Dulles Airport to fly home, the sky was still full of cloud - in long formations which were even more noticeable from above....

Maundy Thursday

How can it be Easter already?    If time is of the essence and no hot cross buns made or available, why not try this interesting take on the flavours, as suggested by Sainsbury’s magazine this month?
