Our wonderful wedding day, 4 happy years ago....
28C in the sun today and I spent an hour out there rotivating what will become our little lawn. I love our second home, here in the South of France.

Keep them at bay with your tracking!
After her long sleep, our younger cat snoozed as I sparked...
Driving through the French countryside....
Off to the Chelsea Flower Show today!
Went to my second great-nephew's christening today and even had a cuddle. Back to France tomorrow and smaller dinner plates!
First tomatoes picked this year from the French garden!

Ankle broken on Monday, resting fully Tuesday and Wednesday, will find appropriate exercises to do from tomorrow to strengthen arms and good leg...
Got this email on my progress in 2017. 2018 will be even better!
Lots of fun walking dogs at the local rescue centre yesterday!
As I can't wear proper shoes due to my continuing ankle problems, bought me some sparkly trainers!

Our fifth wedding anniversary, such a happy day!
DH cooked an amazing meal last night for our anniversary - foie gras, followed by lobster Thermidor, ending with a pear and frangipane tart, accompanied by champagne.
I planted a beautiful purple hydrangea today and some bulbs from Madeira, as well as reseeding the lawn, such as it is and chipping all of the pruned passionfruit.

After all of the talk of snow by my SparkFriends, thought we'd better go see some at our nearest ( closed for summer) ski resort, where they are still tobogganing...
This morning's breakfast - masala omelette, grilled tomatoes, pepper and beet salad (no dressing!) Brilliant hotel restaurant!
Last day in Goa and Laurie's Birthday, so I told the waiter at breakfast. They produced a cake with a relighting candle. We shared a half inch slice and I scraped off most of the buttercream!
Spending a day and overnight in Spain, about 19 degrees Celsius here - yessss!
So we found a restaurant this afternoon we thought we’d like for tonight, then spent over an hour looking for it tonight, but went to another as we couldn’t find it. The place we went to was excellent!


We went to the local animal rescue centre yesterday afternoon and walked two dogs... mine was a somewhat assertive female, Noisette who walked me! She was formerly owned by a homeless person and not used to being locked up. Quite handy at the end of the walk, as she pulled me up a steep slope lol.... we hope to help more by fostering pups before we’re in France permanently.
Blogged as promised, now need to blog part 2 tomorrow as there is lots more to tell...
Sixth wedding anniversary today and back down to that weight. Woo hoo!
Back in Carcassonne, first meal out last night, a lovely healthy salad, so missed my salads in Brussels this week! And I only ate one of the bread slices too!!
Lovely day yesterday at the Limoux Festival, lunch with friends and watching the parade!
Friends came to lunch today, so we served a homemade frittata, charcuterie, cheese and a mixed salad of tomato, cucumber, avocado, chickpeas, onion and pepper. Here’s the frittata I baked this morning...
Great day yesterday. 100 minute workout and 100 minute hike!
A wonderful mum and daughter day at the Mary Quant Exhibition today in London, followed by a healthy tapas lunch. What a great FitBit day too!
Been a busy month away, eating out is NOT all it’s cracked up to be, when daily for a month! Good damage limitation and ready to go again...

Happy Mayday!
Here in France, ‘La Fête du Muguet’, The feast of Lily of the Valley, celebrated since Louis XIV was given a bunch for luck.
At this time, bunches can be sold without a tax levied and traditionally children sell them to raise money for charity, but not this year of course!

A friend called me glamorous this week, what a great NSV! Btw, NOT my beer. That was the day I turned down alcohol, cheese and ice cream after lunch with friends...
I shall be MIA for a few days. Fell down the stairs yesterday and spent today on the sofa. Nothing broken, but sore and dizzy...
My wanderer, Nogi is home! Found without her harness and lead, after two days , by a farmer in his farmyard.
Cheesecake was a hit - low fat farmer’s cheese, Brousse.
My great day started well with a workout and then a fluffy soufflé omelette!
