Boxing Day

A suite of activities with chats EQ and JQ who is of course in Wellington.

The activities included watching London Scottish play in Richmond with IQ and Anthony. It is good to see ‘real rugby’ or maybe old-fashioned. The players are not all uniformly the size of houses and subtlety seems to play a bit more of a role.

Next it was a trip to Kew Gardens to see the light show. A team of three this time with Shaz and IQ.

Next after that fun ti was off to the pub to watch Brentford play BHA. Not a good performance and not a good result.

Christmas Day at Mervyn

A few pictures to show the day, which, as well as the fine feast, included Mass at St. Peter and St. Paul, Northfields, video chats with EQ who was and remains marooned in Glasgow because of Covid.

Along with the food and alcohol there was the annual viewing of ‘Love Actually’ plus the 1971 Morecambe and Wise classic Christmas special.

Brittany and an atypical site

We spent two weeks in Brittany for rest and research.

The following field or site was interesting; The Valley of the Saints.

We had a recommendation to go, and the site was worth the trouble. The more interesting aspect was the more modern presentation of some of the saints.

There is the one that appears to ‘ give the finger’ , someone out of a 1970’s tv show, the winner of the World Cup in 1998?A Khardasian behind?

Good value.

Walking continues

‘The Border’

Yesterday was day 2 of 3 and turned out to be longer than planned. We misplaced the route on the moors and as such walked an extra 5 km or so. The underfoot is hard work there and even when we re-found the path it was not easy as the path was a very basic construction.
