Left Steve and Helen’s around 8.30 this morning. Took a leisurely drive towards Saintes, our next stop-over. Dropped into St Emilion, had a wander round and picked up some wine for Roger and Oliver. Wandered around Saintes and bought Ann a nice dress ring (blue). Arrived at Chateau Mouillepied around 4pm. We covered 156 miles, averaging 33 mpg, average speed of just 35 mph.
Visited a local restaurant, ‘Auberge des Glycines’ in Taillebourg, right by the river and just a five minute drive away. Excellent food, but strangely, we were the only people in the restaurant all evening – spooky!!

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
