ME ON MONDAY

Today saw me making my first visit of the year to FONTILLES....between the sore foot and other commitments, I just hadn't managed to get there.



This lovely old gentleman is a resident in the Geriatric Unit ...a Scot like myself, so we always manage a good old 'blether'...he didn't know what had hit him today as my friend Lyn (visiting from Scotland) was with me and was intent on finding out as much as she could about him  (genealogy is her 'thing')



The weekend?.........it was a house-tidying (for my houseguest arriving), food-buying (for my houseguest arriving), curry-making (for my houseguest arriving), wine drinking, laughing , exchanging news and watching 'call the Midwife' (when my houseguest arrived) kind of weekend.

Waving to everyone....especially SIAN, whose great idea this meme was.

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

    Waving back at you Alison! Sounds like you had a fun and busy weekend with your friend and a nice time with the elderly gentleman.

    Gotta love a guest who enjoys a curry! Sounds lovely. We have a guest arriving tomorrow and I'm thinking roast dinner, because he probably doesn't get too many of those in his adopted San Diego!

    Hope the rest of the week is a good one and your foot is well on the mend

    I note that no excuse was deemed necessary for wine drinking!

    What a super photo, Alison! Your gentleman must be so delighted to have you visit, with that bright smile of yours and cheerful conversation :). Glad that despite the busyness of preparations, you've enjoyed the company.

    A houseguest who likes genealogy? well, what's not to like? I too would have had to ask loads of questions and then gone on Tinternet as soon as possible just to have a little furtle around. I loves fambly 'istry I does

    Sounds like all those preparations would guarantee a lovely visit. And I bet the old gentleman was pleased to see both you and your friend.
