19th May

I take Colin and Blake out for a walk across the fields. Its great being out with them. The romp around and generally have a good time.

Back home for breakfast with Pascale and Alex. Chat and gossip and catch up on last night's news.

After they leave we do some more decorating of the downstairs loo and finish it off. Its really great to have another room done. We've now got the kitchen and the utility room left to sort out. Downstairs. The upstairs is more of a problem as its only the hall and Pascale's room which have been decorated to date. We've still got a good push for the rest of the house in front of us!

We go out with Warren and Mirabel to the local Italian restaurant.  It use to be a pub called the Prince of Wales. Its now called Principe - on honour of the Prince? - and advertised as specialist Italian. Very unusual for an ex-pub stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Its busy with a good varied menu which is not too big. We all enjoy the food and wine and each others company. Its good to see that Warren's business seems t be picking up nicely.

We finish off with cheese and biscuits back at our place.
