Hello Robin I love Robins, I have one that sits on the wall on my patio in France waiting for me every morning for his bit of bread. The badger 'Marcel' is known in the neighbourhood and has a reputation for getting stuck in the odd chimney where he can get a bit of warmth. I believe he climbs up the colombage on single story houses and just chucks himself down into the chimney and sometimes gets lodged in the kinked part. Did you buy a hippo from the hippo shop in Cormeilles then? I never thought I would see such a thing in Cormeilles, I would have thought they would get more trade in Lisieux.

Hi 27's,
Just looked at the world weather news and see you have some wonderful sunny days to come in Eure, area 27. Has the sunshine arrived? We travel to 27 on Good Friday and hope for good dry weather to get on in the garden and sort out the jungle.

We are going to 27 on Thursday. Amazing to think that 2 weeks ago we were under 3ins of snow! 20c + today in 27 so the grass will now be growing. Robin

We were over this weekend. Over on the Portsmouth Le Havre on Thursday night, back this morning. Weather magnificent! In T shirts all weekend. Sat outside at the Bar des Allies in PA during the Friday farmer's market nursing a coffee watching the world go by. Friday morning started foggy but as it cleared the temperatures soared and we had a great time. Dined at the Hotel de France in St Georges - simple pleasure, low cost and good food and company. We did try to book into the Hotel de Post in Beuzeville but it is still closed although I was told that it will open next weekend. The mayor arrived for a chat and news update and proudly presented us with our new house number plate to be fixed using the "non corroding brass screws"! We also managed to meet up with the roofer who promised to start work next month after all the extra work he's had after the storms in January. The weather doesn't look so bad next weekend either although the forecast seems to change by the day. We're planning to go back for Easter via Eurotunnel although I see that all crossings on Friday morning are fully booked so it's either going to be a question of using one of the Club Crossings I've booked for the year or a long stay crossing and go over on Thursday night. The one negative point of the weekend was the deterioriation of the P&O service to Le Havre, obviously being run down in preparation for closure. We've pretty much decided not to use the route again which was sad after all the good memories of late night Friday crossings in the late 90s. Thinking back to the times when the Piano bar was packed every crossing and we had to queue for a place in the waiter service restaurant it was sad to see the empty ship on both outward and return crossing. Best Regards Alan.
Best Regards
Alan

Hi Alan, Sounds like you had the perfect break. Interested in your comments about the boat. I have had offers sent to me today from P&O based on book by April travel by end December for £75 each way(no time limit). I thought P&O were out of P/mouth - LH during September, perhaps not. They also offer £49 for a 24hr return & £70 for 72 hrs return. Enjoy your Easter visit Regards Robin

Hello everyone in 27, I am so very excited to say that we, too, are now officially in 27 - only part-time for now, but we have dreams...Three weeks ago we took possession of our house just off the square in St Georges du Vievre and it has been great reading about how much you all like the region. We are so pleased to have settled on it after about 3 (happy!) years of researching where in France we want to be. So, just wanted to say hi and thanks for all the restaurant recommendations, we'll look forward to sampling them soon. Everyone that we have met so far in St Georges and Lieurey seems so friendly and our house was left in absolutely spotless condition for us to move into, so good experiences so far, long may they last. Sue

I just wanted to add another restaurant to the list of those recommended earlier. We had dinner at the Auberge de la Fontaine in St Simeon last night and it was excellent and good value too with friendly service in a lovely location which will be great for summer lunches. We had been to the restaurant a couple of times under the previous owners and it had deteriorated so much the second time that we didn't go back. We saw on the roadside sign that it is now under new management and tried it last night and will be going back. St Simeon is about 3 miles out of Lieurey just off the Pont Audemer road. Best Regards Alan.
Best Regards
Alan
