Hello Dear Reader,
If you've ever stayed in a rental property you'll know that the lack of kitchen utensils is a real annoyance. The more time I have the more I enjoy pottering about in the kitchen and cooking so I need just such items for our French kitchen. By the way, anyone reading who lives in France who can tell me if there's a French version of everything costs a pound, or in their case a euro. Household items seem to be quite expensive there so I shall pack up at least the basics that we need to start off a 'home'.
I only have a tiny kitchen here so I don't have a spare anything and I'm building up a supply of 'necessaries' as and when I have the spare cash. We've started to pack to 'move' already and most of that will come from paring down everyday items from here. I'm mindful of spending no more than we need but I'm also aware that I have a flat and a house to furnish and fit out to a good enough standard that family and friends can stay in and who knows, you might even come and stay one day or drop in when you're passing.
We start 'journey training' our dogs tomorrow with their first trip in their crates in the back of the car. Normally, they just sit on the back seat but we're going to have them in crates every time we take them on the ferry. We'll just have an hour long jouney tomorrow but build up to them spending longer in their travel crates over the next few weeks. If you've travelled any distance with a dog or dogs in your car, I'd appreciate any tips or hints please.
We've at long last had some dry weather which has meant we've got out for longer walks, split some logs and chopped down some kindling to start the fire. Laundry has gone outside and the windows were left open for a few hours to blow away the winter funk.
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxxxx
