Pat in France: July 2013
http://pat-in-france.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 26, 2013. Our journey in a time of Sabbatical. I wanted to write about our experience of Sabbatical here in France.I imagine that most folks know why we are taking it by now, and wanted just to share some thoughts about it. One thing I'm unsure of is, what do we do? I mean with the folks from the church we attended.we're stepping back from attending there for 9 months. So how do we react if someone calls and wants info, or maybe wants to call round for a chat/coffee/ help? I enjoyed it.t...

Pat in France: November 2012
http://pat-in-france.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 13, 2012. As I type this, Catrin is playing the piano and singing "Only by grace can we enter". Today started off a bit fretful whilst waiting for the chap to come and turn off our water, that has been gushing into our back garden since yesterday afternoon.(thankfully not into our house at least! You'd think when you call the emergency services they'd come pretty swiftly.anyway, the chap finally came and found the meter buried, dug it up and turned off the water! So were going through C...

Eighty days around the World: Happy Birthday Mrs Cruse
http://crusearoundtheworld.blogspot.com/2009/11/happy-birthday-mrs-cruse.html
Eighty days around the World. Wednesday, 4 November 2009. Happy Birthday Mrs Cruse. We arrived into Phuket to be met by torrential rain and by the time we had settled into the guesthouse we barely had time to have a quick look around and get dinner before crashing in bed (strangely rather than sheets or duvets, the guesthouse provided large towels to sleep in - nice). A bit of souvenir shopping and fancy meal followed as well as a Birthday cake (well, Starbucks muffin! It feels very odd. Ben is a souther...

Eighty days around the World: Golden Temple & Taj Mahal
http://crusearoundtheworld.blogspot.com/2009/11/golden-temple-taj-mahal.html
Eighty days around the World. Wednesday, 18 November 2009. Golden Temple and Taj Mahal. After the smelliness of Delhi we had a 5am(! Train up to Amritsar to see the Golden Temple. We had a fantastic day walking around the Sikh temple and even got a free lunch! It's a really interesting place and the contrast of how people act inside compared to outside is stark - no spitting or littering in sight. Still feeling a bit rough from the day before (plus an early morning and twelve hours on a train) we didn't ...

Eighty days around the World: Elephants in Ao Nang
http://crusearoundtheworld.blogspot.com/2009/11/elephants-in-ao-nang.html
Eighty days around the World. Wednesday, 4 November 2009. Elephants in Ao Nang. After the hectic surroundings of Bangkok we whizzed down to the West Coast by Thai Airways (including some questionable in flight refreshments) to our 4 star hotel in Ao Nang. The room was fantastic - the biggest of the trip. We had a balcony overlooking the pool and the bed was huge - at least 2m by 2m! The last day in Ao Nang we went Elephant trekking which was amazing. We followed a stream through a jungle - only stopp...

Eighty days around the World: Smelly Delhi
http://crusearoundtheworld.blogspot.com/2009/11/smelly-delhi.html
Eighty days around the World. Tuesday, 10 November 2009. And so, after spending the majority of our day on the plane we arrived in Delhi. Unfortunately none of the cash machines were working so we had no way of paying for a taxi to our hotel. However, it turned out we had enough spare baht (just) to convert and secure our transport. In between our visits to the fort we went on a rickshaw ride around Old Delhi, exploring all the different markets that are on display - it was a brilliant, though tad uncomf...

Mellishous Gossip: August 2013
http://lollipoplane.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 16, 2013. Anni wanted me to make afternoon tea for some of her friends and her aunty, uncle and cousins. My lovely friend Julie had bought me a brilliant afternoon tea recipe book, so I had a morning of baking and got out my bargain china from Driffield, which has served me well. I had a lovely catch up with my sil and bil Marianne and Tim. I loved watching Tom and his little cousin Pierre "jamming" together. Links to this post. Thursday, August 15, 2013. Links to this post. Tea shop, wher...

Monday, October 21, 2013. One year off silver. 24 years ago today, I married my bestie. It feels odd to be a year away from celebrating our silver wedding; old people have been married 25 years. Happy anniversary Peter xx. Links to this post. Tuesday, October 15, 2013. Second sil to hit 50. Disco diva Kath had a very appropriate dance floor cake! It was lovely, as always to see my nephew and niece, Joe and Lily. And there was the usual famous face there. how does he never age a day? On Sunday we had some...
