What a romantic - well I DID get some flowers for my valentine! Won't say who though!.
And what a beautiful day. Catherine came for lunch and we had barbecued sausages as the first two photographs show. Look carefully behind in the first photo and you can see our cabbages and caulies coming on a treat! For our starter we had shop-bought beetroot and home-grown lamb's lettuce - we're not exactly self-sufficient yet, but we're getting there!
.
In the afternoon we decided to take our books to the beach as it was so warm in the garden. We quickly realised that the off-shore breeze was not as we wanted and went for a short cycle ride instead. The 3rd photograph was taken from the end of the former jetty, astonishingly two children in swimming gear paddling in the sea on 14th February!
.
We continued along to the Poste de Secours and were pleased to see that the sand is coming back! Tine is standing on top of the concrete slab that appeared at the end of last year. You can hardly make out the slab now.

Then back home, Tine doing some digging and me chopping and sawing logs for the fire - I'm becoming a 'dab hand'. Once the sun goes down the temperature soon drops and we appreciate the fire to warm our old bones!!

This is just toooooo much!!!! How are we supposed to cope with a cold, grey, cloudy, drizzly day when we see photos like this! Glad to see the sand is coming coming back.How's the F in BFG going, cos the B&G seem to be up to scratch.

You are not the only ones with blue sky, mild weather and sunshine. We had same weather from last Friday till this wednesday in H, the only thing missing is the sea!!!! Then it turned grey and dismal on Thursday.
Veg look fantastic. xxx

Pour ma part, soirée Saint Valentin en tête à tête avec les enfants, cela compte ?
Moi je n'ai plus de mimosas dans le jardin à cause des racines, mais par contres les jonquilles sont ouvertes et cela fait plaisir de revoir les couleurs printanières... après les longs mois d'hiver.
Mais comme l'hiver c'est sympa aussi nous nous préparons pour le ski ..

WOW! I want sunshine. How do you fancy a full time lodger? Fully agree with second comment though, had some GORGEOUS weather this week, despite a couple of grey days. Very pleased about sand coming back, we won't have to sunbathe on concrete now :) Right, final though: Who's on for a bet on what date Maman Tine OR Papa Dave go for their first swim?! Tha race is on... x
