Monday February 2nd

The sun showed it's face today and we spent time in the garden making a flower bed around the base of "The" tree. We are not walking too close to the house as there are a lot of loose tiles.
Photographs have been taken and the architect has visited so we wait, again, for roof repairers.

We have used 2 old oak beams as the borders of the bed. They have to sit on stones on 2 sides as there is a drop in land levels. Now have to fill it with soil.

Tuesday February 3rd

Happy Birthday Michael, 40 today. Happy Anniversary to us.
Had lunch with an old nursing pal who lives on the edge of the Landes forests and the drive there showed me, first hand, some of the devastation. I have tried twice to phone Michael, will try again tomorrow.

Returned home to find we have internet, yipee. They have replaced our live box which appears to have blown during the storm.
