Livarot to Glasgow and back

An article about me in the local paper! 

Today it is cold and we have lit a lovely fire and I don't want to leave it so I am thinking that maybe this is a good time to write another post in my blog. Thank you for those of you who think I should continue my blog and as yet I'm unsure. Since I last wrote I have been to Glasgow and Carlisle and back to Normandie. I had a rather nerve racking trip to Beauvais airport where I was catching my flight to Glasgow and without going into all the details I ended up flagging down a car in Beauvais at the traffic lights and asked them to take me to the airport as there were no taxis.They proceeded to allow this mad woman jump in and took me to the airport and I got there with 5 minutes to spare! It was of course lovely to be reunited with Gen after 10 months and to see her and Mathew at Glasgow airport. As always I have a great time in Glasgow and despite the weather I spent a lovely week doing things like going to the cinema, museums, seeing the theatre production of The Lion King, rummaging around in lots of charity shops, eating in great places and sampling the many coffee shops around the west end of Glasgow.

 On my way back to France I spent the weekend with my oldest and dearest friend, Katy who lives near Carlisle. We have known each other since we were 5 years old and her family have always been a part of my life. Sadly, Anne her mother, who was a faithful follower of my blog, died very recently and I was so sad that I didn't manage to see her for a last time. Now Katy and her siblings have the difficult job of clearing her house and I spent one day with them as they began the painful process of unraveling their family home with all the memories in every corner.

 Fortunately my return journey was less stressful and all was well at home despite the cold! Andrew returned from 10 days in Uganda and we have been catching up with friends and I even sang with my friend Rebeka at a very small event on Friday evening which was fun. I know the school year is over in Malaysia and all you teachers and pupils are on holiday so enjoy yourselves and I'll be in touch soon.
