Oh dear, just looked at the date of my last post!  Mmm.  Not very good.  Coronavirus has a lot to answer to.  Briely, we've managed to see the granddaughters once.  They are lovely.  Perry and I have a couple of health issues, which I suppose are taking over a bit at the moment.  Bertie has been extreemly unwell, particularly in the heat.  He is now on all sorts of medication.

On a much lighter note, we have sold La Pelouiniere, final date should be 31st August.  We managed a lightening visit over there to clear the house, put a huge amount of stuff in the van and lots in the car.  Philippe and Paulette have kindly let us use their barn to store the van.  However, a week after we got back visitors from France have had to quarantine for a fortnight.  Lucky we got back when we did.  But now we don't know when we will be able to collect the van.  October, November, who knows?

The other bit of news is that we have sold Bloto (Hanse 301), sale is complete, and we have put in an offer on another Hanse (315), which has been accepted and we are now going through the throws of completion of that purchase.  Could be as early as next week.

I have done virtually no painting in the last two months, and have even given up on the dressmaking.  We are certainly in unprecedented times, and it is really all a bit unsettling.  Still.  Ever onwards and upwards.
