I read the post with amusement ,I now count myself a very lucky man to have been married to my wife for 40 years and hand on heart I would never have considered not having her around as our lives have been built on our life experiences. We are 24/7 together met many wonderful people both here and in England call me sad but I do not regret a moment.

They grow ok here in 56(near Pontivy) because I picked some last year and made some GREAT jam. My sister living near Limoge has loads that she picks.By the way,the ones I picked last year were from one tree.

Its been a lovely day here in 56 near Pontivy.19 to 21 degrees at times.Makes one feel a lot better.I think I suffer with SAD syndrome to be honest.

A starter I like is Mozzerela cheese with sliced large Tomatoes and chopped fresh Basil. Very Rick Stein!

Just read about Jet Harris.One of the original members of The SHADOWS of course.Saw him twice in recent years.He could still play a bit!RIP

RIP Fred. By the way fiery Fred was in fact Fred Trueman.

RIP Elizabeth.Lets hope her and Richard are making whoope.He was her only true love so they say.

Its kicked off then.French planes are over Libya and have fired at an armoured vehicle. Lets hope that Gaddafi is taken out this time around.

I live in region 56 and would like to do some sea fishing.Has anyone any idea whether there are any charter boats for hire on the coast at Lorient/Port Louis? Anywhere in that neck of the woods would be ok.

Well done the boys.Bit close at the end. They now want a win from Sud Africa.

Watched it last night .

We are going to our local cinema on Sunday to watch the film.Should be good.

Going to see The Kings Speech on Sunday at our local cinema which should be good.

How about Manston in Kent.One of a few airports long enough to take Concorde. Would be handy for me to pop back to see family in Kent.

I used some decking planks from Mr Bricolage.

I know about the keys,but if your car was at your house surely you would be ok.Maybe some people have only one set of keys.Just because they have car keys with them,does not prove intent. Is is the same in UK?

Last night during a discusion about the police whilst in a bar,myself and a few others were told by the innkeeper that not only can the police pull you whilst driving,you can also be pulled if you are walking and if found to be under the influence you could still lose your licence. Not only that we were told that the police in the UK have the same powers.We found it a bit hard to believe to say the least. Any thoughts would be welcome.

Just booked Insurance for hols in Greece via Gatwick from WORLDWIDE Travel insurance services LTD. Cover starts at 25 pounds each.I took 35 pound cover. We are covered for the return trip from France.Medical,hospital,baggage etc.I was asked all relevant questions over the phone and I was emailed the policy.

Cow. I had half a trailer load in November,spread it on the veg plot and flower beds.Let it over winter,dug it all in 2 weeks ago.Hoping for bumper crops. Fingers crossed!

I will check it out.Thanks.

Thanks for that.I thought the internet would be where I would have to look.

I am going to UK for a few days in July and then flying to Greece from gatwick. I have booked with Thompson in UK,but I cannot get travel insurance because I live here.Any ideas please.

Just been quoted 0.86 a litre up from 0.60 last November.Had fuel delivered today @ 0.70 cents a litre.

I had 28 conifers cut down by a local landscape man just after i moved in.4 of them were up to cable height.Edf would have charged me to cut them down.

I used to live not far from Sandwich(Deal).It will be a blow to the area.Years ago the coal mine and the Royal Marine barracks along with Pfizer meant that the unemployment was low. The area has been deteriorating for a while.The closing of Pfizer will only make it worse.A lot of the site has only been built recently.
