  1. A friend has a magnificent Walnut Tree and close by there are small ones growing as well. They do not want them  all and have offrered me two of the smaller ones. When is the best time to dig them up and replant in my garden ?
  2. On two occasions leaving England on a BF to France we have been in the security section for the car to be checked and for us to answer questions. The question that always makes me smile is " are you carry any weapons like knives, swords, guns or similar " If we were terrorists and wanted to capture the boat would we say yes to these quetions. They are always very pleasant though and always have a smile on their faces.

  3. We have heard  that Lidl could be opening a store close to Melle in the Deux Sevres. Our French neighbours were trying to explain it to us but maybe we have got lost in translation as they talk so quickly to us. They said it would be close to the SuperU store and there is only one store that has closed down recently in that area. Has anyone heard anything  as it would be great for us as the nearest Lidl is quite a drive away.
  4. We have bought some Rock Sulpher which we add to his water. We bought it from UK and it is especially made to help to keep them cool in hot weather.One small piece into the water and it slowly dissolves over a couple of days so just keep giving fresh water with the Tablet still in the water bowl.
  5. Yes they are Porcelaine and I have noticed a little bit of scale around the rim of the toilet as well. I will try Vinegar so would it be better to dilute it or not ?
  6. I have started to get Limescale build up on the washbasins. It does come off with normal cleaning albeit hard work so what can I buy to remove it. I have googled and some sites suggest vinegar but I am a bit concerned in case I remove the surface. I know someone will have the asnwer...[:D]
  7. We came here from Cornwall as well. Where abouts are you in Cornwall if you don't mind me asking. I do get very homesick at times as all the kids and Grandchildren are still in England and we do spend a lot of our time going back for various family events. I am struggling with the language but OH is a lot better than me and also a lot of French people around us do speak some English, we want to practise our French but they want to talk English to us. I do love the weather here though and I was swimming again yesterday but it is wet today but the first rain we have had for months.
  8. Wonderful news !!! All true dog lovers will be pleased for you and take no notice of negative comments as you have given hope to a lovely boy. We are always so sad when we lose a faithful friend but life goes on and your memories will always be with you. Now you have a chance to make new memories with your new faithful friend. Once again, so very pleased it is all going well for you and my namesake.  [:D]

     

  9. We have our youngest son, wife and 11 month old Jack coming to see us in just over a weeks time. He is the youngest of 13 Grandchildren and we were made Great Grandparents in June, little Max entered the world and he is so lovely.  No we are not in our eighties, mid sixties but we started young.  [:D]  Once again many congratulations.
  10. If there is anyway you could glean more info about him like where he is and also if he has been neutered, up to date with his jabs  etc. that could help in re homing him. Is he free or does the owner want something for him, all this info could help. Also, a picture of him would also help as that could melt someones heart. I have never had a standard Poodle but have had smaller ones over the years ( rescue ) and I also found them to be lovey doags. I wish you good luck in finding him a home.
