Piggy provocateur

My lovely friend Christopher collected pigs of all kinds. When his husband asked if I’d like one to remember him by I choose this little chap.

I used to annoy Christopher, by arranging his other pigs as if they were listening to him. I said that he was a political agitator, inciting them to sedition. Christopher would get quite cross, and tell me that he was reading them a bedtime story.

Given there’s a little picture of a desert island, I think he must be reading ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’, and Christopher knew his pigs best of course.

Love you so much Christopher 🐖❤️🐖

Abbaye Sainte-Marie-de-la-Pierre-qui-Vire

Deep in the woods… …you can find a magnificent… …Benedictine Abbey, which you may have heard of, as they make very good cheese. Although the place dates from the last century, there is an atmosphere of deep calm and tranquility. Deeper into the woods… …there is a hidden delight… …a little glade… …with a statue of the Virgin Mary. It is an extraordinary place.

Another blissful day in San Francisco

The Japanese Tea Garden was… …in all its Spring beauty. Absolutely lovely. We kept an eye out for coyotes… …went for a walk on Ocean Beach… …and had a meal out… …to keep Peter’s birthday going another day.

Église st Jean Baptiste - Moulins-Engilbert

For a small, sleepy place…Moulins-Engilbert… …has a very large church. It is… …rather… …lovely… …with lots to see… …beautiful… …carving… …and lovely old wooden pews. And as well… …as these lovely faces… …there are… …some glorious statues in the crypt. However, what most spoke to me was the war memorial… …including my hostˋs grandfather.
