Not enough hours in the day................















Not even scraping the surface!   Too much needs to be listed but keeping some back for an antiques fair in the UK for the New Year some can be found on: Ebay.com under "frenchfanciesinfrance"

Barley the errant house eating labrador has this Summer eaten my daughters mobile phone, two chair legs, several cushions, a cat bowl (plastic) and  more shoes than I care to remember - he has also had to be "done"  to stop him leaping on our girlie Jack Russell and upsetting Louis our "dog" Jack Russell.  When does the chewing stop?  He is 18 months old already!!
NGBF (new gay best friend) is here to finish some decorating on his holiday home, relax and unwind and walk ahead of me at the brocante!  But.....................I have a secret weapon - take a child with you - any child, preferably your own, give them a list and get them in front of NGBF who is now getting too fond of saying "you snooze, you lose"!

A busy Summer...............................................................








Lots of brocante finds that need to be listed .............................................

A beach holiday in Brittany..............................................
Rubbish weather for a whole week bar one day.........................................but the scenery and stone skimming made up for it.
A big Soiree in August for all our friends was also good fun, plus back to school, homework (in French and it doesn't get any easier the longer we live in France), a quick trip back to the UK to pick up "Jeanette the Vanette" - more about her to follow another time ..........................................all in all in busy Summer.
