Dick Smith Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Has anyone heard from Ali@Ards lately? How are they doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 She rang here while I was in England. Much as I love, admire, and respect OH, he's a bit useless at that kind of thing. So much so that he only told me about it a couple of days ago.I'll try and track her down. As far as I know she still has no landline etc...but that was about all the info he gleaned. You'ld think after 17 years I'd have him trained up...Ali if you spot this I miss you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Good. It just suddenly occurred to me that news had dried up, and I hoped nothing had gone wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I've just had a good chat with Ali.[:D]They both absolutely love being here. They're both in good health which is great because that was a very strong factor in their wish to move here. They're very frustrated not to have internet access though. They've seen about 40 houses some of which have bourne no resemblance to what the Immos have described them as. They've fallen in love with the area around Jarnac in Charente (between Cognac and Angouleme). I'm going to try and rootle around on the internet for them as I have a pretty full description of what they are after. Ali sends thanks to Dick for asking after her. She really misses the forum and was asking for news of many people by name (you know who you are).[kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I often wonder how they're doing. It's so strange not to see her posts - I'm STILL not used to it after all this time. Hurry up and come back to us Ali! Has Mark stopped wobbling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sorry Twinkoletto, I didn't ask that specific question but I will do! I'll ask anything anyone wants.[:)]There was no weferwence to wobbles. She sounded very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hi All!!!Managed to get onto the internet today, via our landlords, who are out today & left us the key to their house!It's been so weird not being able to get online to chat with you all & let you know how we are getting on. We've actually been paying for broadband service for a month & a half now - but haven't got it yet!! Hopefully, very soon, a little man from Orange will arrive & actually connect up the right line!!We are both really enjoying ourselves & haven't stopped charging about, since we arrived. We're having a day off from house hunting & chilling out (& doing the washing!!).Mark has stopped wobbling!! He's really settled - especially since his guitars arrived - & we both feel really at home, in France. I have actually only felt homesick once ........ the night Northern Ireland beat Spain 3-2 in the Euro qualifiers!! We both got really nostalgic & emotional!!!Apart from that everything is great. Apart form, of course, losing Ben. It's only now, 2 months later, that I'm starting to think of us as having only 2 cats. Both of them are great & loving chasing the lizards & all the other creatures they've never seen before!!I'll sign off for a while now - but try to get on later today & see who's online.Luv Ali.

JayJay Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hi Ali, Hope the little Orange man turns up soon, but it's great to hear you're loving it over here. Sounds like you wouldn't have had much time to be online anyway. Good luck with finding your little paradise. Take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
