You lost, Rikki and Sita.

In France with not a care in the world.

The country where my soul will always belong.

Beautiful, poetic, delicious France. The greatest love of my life. And here I am currently on a well deserved break.

Better than TV

I've lived without a TV for over a decade. Apart from refusing to contribute to the outrageous salaries of BBC staff, I object to being told what to think. What and how I think is the last true freedom I have. Not being glued to a television means I can read, cook delicious meals from scratch  walk my dogs for hours on end, listen to some snappy guitar playing and enjoy after supper scrabble. We argue and laugh a lot playing scrabble and we're happier for it.

Beautiful England

A day of point to point with the Bicester Hunt with the Whaddon Chase.
