macmillan coffee mornings…
September 25th, 2008
Is coffee good for cancer? Only when it’s part of a MacMillan fundraising coffee morning. I’ve been invited to two tomorrow, by my friends Megan and Tiggy. I hope you never have to come across a MacMillan nurse, because if you do, it means you’re one of a huge number of people in this country [...]
GATEAU FABULOUS

Pond Life continued…
September 1st, 2008
An update on the French pond clearing situation. Two days after we watched the fish die at the water’s edge, the water-lily (60 euros) was eaten by the ragondin. A ragondin is the French cousin of the beaver, apparently. A week later, Armand and I took a flat-bottomed boat into the waters and armed with [...]
