We are moving… Heaven and Earth – not really – just boxes and boxes of stuff – so keeping posts up to date will be impossible for a few more weeks! Please don’t think too harshly of us – this site WILL be vibrant and FUN really soon – the day after tomorrow…

THANK YOU all who came to see The Rutles this month! Who can forget Elliott Randall’s guitar duelling with Ken Thornton on “Hey Mister”? Who can deny the masterly playing of “Wahey” Jay Goodrich on bass and “Deep” Phil Jackson on keyboards? Who would want to remember John Halsey’s [B. Wom] Wonderful Wonder “Christmas Spectacular”? […]

First the clutch went in the Espace, then we had to get up at 5am the next morning to catch the boat. Then there was a problem with the hotel when we finally got to Guernsey ,which is actually rather lovely-with lots of sandy beaches and cobbled streets. […]

Bonnie Rose was the author of the neilinnes.org site – highly intelligent, funny and a very real human being. She was a genius with computers. Her graphics were stunning and although we tried to give as much information as we could, it was Bonnie’s design work, as well as the many of hours of research […]

Liverpool is rapidly changing. From the roads to the buildings to the venues to the shops – things are smartening up. No empty or derelict shops here. The shopping centre literally buzzes with the sound of high heels and card machines. Passing The Cavern, there are crowds of mainly Taiwanese tourists – proving that […]

And we were leaving. A short drive ahead just to get us to Le Couvent – an old convent turned into a bijou chambre d’hote. On the way we visited Clermont L’herault for old times sake. We went there first about 10 years ago to visit a close friend . Then we went with the […]

Last day here – washing cleaning etc s have to say cant get much enthusiasm up for it. Around 8.30 sun rises again throwing a golden glow over everything and we realise again why this part of the world is so appealing. Freedon, egalite fraternite – this is what has horrified everyone about the shooting […]

To Aubagne to look at a huge potery- Ravel. Took under an hour and was well worth it. In spite of articles to the contrary Aubagne turned out to be pleasant enough. There was a good fruit and veg market and lots of outdoor cafes which were well peopled as it was windy but warm. […]

Today I took Neil into Brignoles centre. He loved it – was thinking there would be a market but tomorrow so might repeat the performance then. Had a café au lait in a small bar still with all the Christmas decorations up. If you wanted a croissant – you went next door and brought it […]

Funny how when you get to a place you like for a holiday it is always tempting to want to live there permanently. Might lose its attraction once there and dealing with French beaurocracy and taxes but neither of us feels particularly glued to anywhere although after 40 years in Suffolk we have a lot […]
