It's all coming up roses


Feb 3rd: Schooling went very well today and then the boys had a swimming lesson after lunch. We went to the library and then went to a cafe for a drink and a cake - the first time we have done this since we arrived. However we were celebrating that our permits to stay have been extended and so we can look forward to some more time here, some more exploring and some more adventures. For tea we had the fish we caught yesterday.
The photo is of one of the roses in our garden. There are rose bushes everywhere and they don't seem bothered by the hot weather and the fact that I rarely remember to put the sprinklers on them. Despite all this they bloom brightly. Speaking of putting the sprinklers on - did you notice the problem with the arrangements for watering during restrictions? As we live in an odd-numbered house we got to water the garden on 31st Jan AND 1st Feb while the houses opposite could not water all weekend!

  1. Hi Folks,

    Big Bruv here in what must be said is a bl**dy freezing UK with lots of snow and wet rain across the whole country. It was a hugh temp shock coming back from Florida on Sunday back to cold weather and snow and then back to reality with work Monday.

    Good news about the visa extentions how long have they been extended to now?

    Love from all here in the UK. Kevin
