One of Those Days

 
Awake at 5:30, up at 6, after a night of tossing and turning…..’Why?’, I hear you cry…. Well, today was the first day of my path to riches and almost certain unabounded wealth by way of the French markets….understandably, sleep evaded me!
And, as it turned out, it wasn’t only sleep that evaded me. So did my first [...]

Time to switch off…

 Well, the moment has finally arrived where I am writing my last blog entry here in the UK.
I am surrounded by boxes, bags and mayhem. I have a permanent knot in my stomach and can’t quite decide if it is exhileration and excitement or just plain fear! I think it is a mixture of all [...]

My first wobbly moment!

I knew it had to happen eventually, but I had my first wobbly moment last week.
With a firm date in mind now, I thought it would be a good idea to start some draft letters. I began with Mr Filby, the flute teacher, moved onto Gwendoline from French club, next onto Brown Owl and was [...]

Back in Business

 
Ok, I’m back now, ready to roll! Lots has happened, so bear with me as I update you all!
We had a great time in the Lakes. Diddy and The Boy spent a few days with Daddy in Cheshire, which meant I managed to grab a few lie-ins! Yep, in bed until 9:30 one morning! Elsie [...]

Chillin’ in Ulverston

Please do not abandon hope! I am not ignoring you, I have not given up totally on Beauregard The Blog…I’m just, well, away!
Yep, we are away for a week  in the Lake District for half-term. Lots of fresh air and sheep and so far, no rain! What more could we want?!
See you soon…..I shall leave you with [...]

There’s a green one and a pink one….

 I managed to get a box of boxes from the Yellow Storage place yesterday….Whoopee! Does that mean my lapse is lapsing?
It does mean that I can get in to the loft and start going through whatever is up there. Not a job I am particularly looking forward to but essential nontheless.
I forgot to tell you [...]

The light’s are on, but there’s nobody home!

In a matter of weeks, myself and my children are moving to France. Am I in a mad panic? In a rage of activity and list-making? In floods of tears and sleepless nights?
Strangely and, increasingly worryingly,no, I am not!
It’s as if I am untouched by the whole experience and as if it’s happening to someone [...]

….Eating my words…..

The house went on the market last Wednesday, at last. And by Saturday we’d had hundreds of viewers and, yes, an offer! It took 3 days for it to come in. So I am now eating my own cynical words of a few weeks ago and lots of humble pie!
It would appear that the agent does [...]

I opened the window and influenza….

 Today has been the first time in probably a week, that I have had the slightest inclination to write, read, edit, think about, or do just about anything with my poor blog. It is feeling very neglected!
For, the whole household has been struck down, in biblical proportions, by goodness knows what. Well, The Boy, we know, [...]
