My Holiday in Kenya 2010

I promised some more photos and at last I have been able to sort them out. I hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed taking.

Kate and Terry's visit

Kate and Terry were amazed by the choice of produce and the size of our supermarkets. They have to go by ferry to Corfu in order to do any substantial shopping so we spent quite a lot of the holiday looking in the shops, drinking the odd glass and playing lots of cards. The weather was better than expected which was a relief. We ate out on a couple of occasions once in the steak house in Narbonne and again at our local restaurant La Salette which they prefered. Meals in Greece are more expensive now than they are in France and Kate and Terry were pleasantly surprised but the cost of the menu's.

It is very quite now they have left but I will be off to choir again tomorrow and I have managed quite a few jobs in the garden this week. The mimosa tree is full of buds and should look great this winter.

I hear regularly now from my friends at the Ashnil Camp in the Maasai Mara and there is a chance that I will be going back, hopefully with Kate towards the end of next year, sooner if we win the Euro Millions - c'est la vie!

French Strikes

This little video proves that not all demonstrations are violent or threatening. This was the scene in Narbonne during the Pension strikes. It was a carnival atmosphere which everyone enjoyed. Our friends from Paxos were with us and they thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Narbonne.
