Another letter from Mim
Jun. 14th, 2012 05:02 pmAngel,
Our host is the most hyper-active person in the universe. [Former Neighbour]'s chain-saw
is but a small burp by comparison. There's miles of lawn to manicure every other day (obviously with a machine); a forest to cut back (with a chain-saw, of course); a small and very aggressive tractor in which to whizz about whenever it stops raining for two seconds. Actually they are both enormously charming, but make us feel like inert blobs whenever we sit reading...
Invited us to a scrumptious dinner with a clutch of other admirals.
How about a small Skype this weekend - if you are not otherwise involved? We leave the rented house here (with OLÉ! clean laundry after a gargantuan struggle with the washing machine. You may recall the French washing machine and I are not friends). I put everything in the sun to dry and as soon as everything was dry, it poured rain until everything was thoroughly soaked again. Anyway, we leave Monday 18th with our clean laundry for 3 days in Rennes where Daddy is participating in conferences regarding all things great & small. Afterward we drive north to the Eng Channel to St_Malo etc. (will keep you posted on the et cetera)
Friends of daddy's invited us to their Alice-in-Wonderland house (built in the 1600's) with stone walls so thick a cannonball couldn't penetrate! Giant fireplace that filled the house with wonderful smells of burning wood. Two eiderdowns on our bed at night; the temp is 11 degrees.
Miss you. Huge hugs from Pap and me.
