Wednesday 21st April

We woke a little later today, about nine, came down and had breakfast whilst watching the news, looks as though ant will be able to fly on Friday, so things should get back to normal, we hope. We gently got up, had baths and got dressed nicely then set off towards Hesdin. We stopped in for a coffee at David's and chatted to them for about an hour then carried on to Hesdin. We nipped in to La Bonbonier to buy a little bag of chocolates and then called in on Maggie for a quick chat and catch up. We headed out of Hesdin on the picturesque route to Montreuil, along the valley floor, then headed towards Berck. When we got to Berck we were going to have frites on the front but it was a little chilly and windy so we decided to eat in a bistro.
We had the exact same thing, Moule Marinere followed by Steak Frites, i had Pain Perdu for desert while ant had a Creme Caramel. After lunch we found our way to the hospital, a very imposing turn of the century building right on the front, we found the room Janine was in and went in. Janine was a little surprised we had found the place, the room was lovely, a single room looking straight on to the beach with a big balcony, almost like a fancy hotel, and with the sun out the view was lovely. We proffered the choccy's to Janine then sat and chatted for the best part of two hours before heading back inland. We took the direct route home, stopped in at Mr Bricolage to buy another tub of crepi, unfortunately one of the tubs i had got the other day turned out to be a noticeably different colour so we will have to go over the bits we did with that, no point doing the job shabbily.
When we got home we relaxed for a little while then i put together some meatballs and used up the gravy from the stew the other day, served it with peas and mashed potato, not too pleasant but it went down ok. We watched a bit of tv then decamped upstairs and watched Julie and Julia on dvd, which was ok. Then to sleep, to dream of lottery wins
