I’ve been sooo busy, I nearly forgot…….Today is our 2nd year anniversary, here at Beauregard. (Due to annoying PC crash, late last night…read ‘yesterday’).
Where does the Time fly?
And I’m sooo busy, I don’t have the time or energy to get it all down here.

Schools out for [...]

We are nearing the end of term and don’t I know it.
It is a frenzy of activity,events and general mayhem. For those of you planning on having a slower, gentler pace of life, by relocating to France profonde, think again.
We have football tournaments and outings, the same with rugby and riding. The choir is having a [...]

Tonight we went to the Chateau de Duras to watch Diddy perform with her class. It was a joint theatrical production with the other local schools. Our school was performing a work by Jean de la Fontaine….Les Animaux Malades de la Peste. Unfortunately, most of it was lost on me, with my limited French and my [...]

I had the pleasure of being transported back in time by 20 or so years last night! For last night, I went to see UB40 in concert at Monsegur, along with Plum and Deana.
We planted ourselves to one side, not far from the wine stall, the poubelles and a very handy hedge. We danced and swayed [...]

After a thumping storm last night, which had me dashing about putting pots and pans under drips and leaks in the small wee hours of the morning, we have had a hot, steamy, sunny day and now, a warm, muggy night.
It has been veranda clearing day today. So with the kids at school, we have [...]

If my stats are to be believed, it’s Stavros Flatly that’s going to be the winner of Britains Got Talent…not Susan Boyle.

At Mums funeral last year, we set up a collection towards a tree fund. With flowers being so expensive and short-lived, people responded really well to this idea and the donations flowed.
Throughout the year, we have cogitated as to which type of tree we should go for. Suggestions and ideas have been discussed and corresponded upon…..but the sheer choice [...]

‘…..is now one of the favourites to win.’ So says the Daily Mail today.
I am, of course, referring to Susan Boyle, of ‘Britains Got Talent’ fame. I, like the rest of the World, it seems, has been mesmerized by her modest, unsophisticated charm and voice! I didn’t watch the show itself but [...]

Oh, I had such good intentions for today.
Today I was going to sort out the brocante stuff in the Cottage with Lesley. But it would appear that the sheep, she took receipt of yesterday, have escaped and she is at this moment chasing them around Lot et Garonne.
