Sun 2nd May

We woke about eight thirty and came down for breakfast, watched the news and eased ourselves in to the day. Ant got ready for the off and we set off to St. Pol for the train to Lille, it left on time and i waved him off. I headed up to Tony and Jackie's, taking a different road for a change, when i neared their village i was struck by the number of wind turbines in view, there must be at least fifty, like a huge forest. I handed over the chair cushion we had bought for them at ikea and we sat and chatted over a cuppa for a bit. Tony and i headed over to Pip and Roland's place where Tony handed over a couple of language tapes, we chatted to them for a bit and i invited them to the garden party.
Tony and i then went to Azincourt, of the famous battle, for their broccant, it was very disappointing with just a few stalls which had been well and truly battered by the rain, so we didn't stay for too long. On the way back we stopped at a festival at the donkey sanctuary near Tony's, it was quite interesting with a lot of stalls selling organic produce, solar panels and domestic windmills, all sorts of eco stuff, much better than the broccant. I dropped Tony off and headed home, i think the girls were a bit disappointed i came back alone.
I had a little lunch and watched a bit of tv, then turned it off and spent a while on the computer and a little while reading before the evening kicked in. I spoke to gran on the phone, who had had a good day out with Judith and had utilized a mobility scooter for the first time and was quite taken with the idea of getting one, so we chatted about that for a bit. i had a nice gammon steak and salad for dinner and then settled down infront of the tv.
I headed up to bed and watched tv in bed for a while, eventually going to sleep around one in the morning, i let the girls sleep on the bed as it did seem a little empty.
