Welcome to all of you out there who might be interested to know about life chez nous. Hopefully, some of you will have happy memories of the house and the village and for those of our friends who have not yet made it over here, perhaps this blog will show them what they are missing! Click on the photos to enlarge them and please feel free to comment. A first name would be great so we're not left wondering who "anonymous" is! À bientôt et bonne navigation!

Don't loose your Head!
Thought it was too good to be true .. the wet and windy weather came in wih a vengence. We went off to a garden centre and took our time over coffee and the papers before finding a pub for lunch After a few abortive attempts we ended up at the Headless Woman. Apparently the name comes from the myth that a serving "girl" refused to give up her mistress' jewellery to the Roundheads during the Civil War and was beheaded for her trouble. She then walked to Duddon with her head under her arm but the story stops short of saying what she did once she arrived. The food was fine but spoilt by a table of very lah lah people who drove us to distraction and left us wishing there was a sword bearing Roundhead handy!.
