Busy weekend, lots of plans

So - that was the second weekend of the Six Nations and a mixed bag of results. We watched the Wales v Scotland match - and got very excited up until the 70th minute and then very disappointed with the end result. Good wishes to Thom Evans, Chris Paterson and Rory Lamont following the injuries sustained during the game and subsequently keeping them out of the rest of the tournament if not the rest of the season.

The France v Ireland match was a delight to watch; especially since Ireland got a good run about and their opponents were very classy (in Lindz's world anyway); And as for Italy v England - well Italy have come on as a side not to dismiss and England need to take stock and get their act together if there are to be no upsets later on.

Also spent time with friends Roy and Ali (amongst others) at our monthly HOG chapter meeting up at Mundford, Norfolk. Spent the time browsing the French country cottage brochure choosing a cottage to rent when we travel to Normandy later this year. More to follow on the preparations for this in future posts however there are at least six of us going possibly eight.

It will be our intention to visit the D-Day beaches, the Bayeux Tapestry and enjoy visiting the fishing ports and the fish markets as well as other places of interest that berween us we would like to see.

Today the scaffolding was being erected in preparation for our new windows being installed next week; and right now it's snow/sleeting again - lets hope it's cleared up before next Monday otherwise its going to be chilly work and a cold house!
