All quiet here. Had a lovely – quiet – Easter weekend. Went to Castle Drogo on Dartmoor on the Friday, had a dinner at my brother’s on the Saturday, went up to Mortehoe for a walk on the coast with Ferris on Sunday and did very little and ate soupe du poisson on the Monday. Smashing. I am now hoping we’ll avoid the ’spectacular’ thunder storms that are hovering over the South West… Also, I can hardly believe it is twenty years since the awful tragedy of Hillsborough; one of the first ‘played out of television’ national news stories. Now we all live out our lives on YouTube, including the coppers with their truncheons… |
Here on the sunny cote d’azur, we have had several storms over the Easter break, including one that blew up the electrics, just like old times. Fortunatly it was just a fuse so we were back up and running in no time. We had another storm with a loud thunderclap over the cottage at 1.30am, which woke me up, then torretial rain for at least another half hour, so I got quite a lot of late night rweading done.We have had several inches of rain, I think, as well as substantial hail, some reports being 1″ in diameter though most was a bit smaller, I got a picture. S0 it should be a relief to get back to sunny England.
