Cross Channel
Thursday evening saw us easing ‘Lone Star’, an Oceanis 411 yacht chartered from those nice folk at Five Star Sailing, out of Warsash for a night sail to either France or the Channel Islands, depending on the prevailing conditions.

Oh the misery, the joy!
As I finish writing the previous post the phone rings. It’s miss on Miss’ mobile. She’s lost her own phone somewhere between now (she’s twenty miles away in Nailsworth) and this morning, when we went for a ramble in Tortworth Arboretum, so can I look in my car please? Well of course, it’s not in…

Oh the joy, the misery!
Having been left behind this afternoon while the girls go shopping, I’ve managed to get the music corner sorted out, and looked forward to a good noodle (well ok, if you’ve heard me you’ll know it’s never a good noodle, only a terrible racket – but I like it!). But I was out working in…
