We are back from our 3-week stay on the magical island of Île de Ré. Every year, we head to France to close Galathee down, put the garden to bed and generally have a good clean up and do some DIY. Surprisingly this is not an odious task at all, thanks to lots of lovely […]

This time last year I was living and working in St Martin. Like all of us, I could not have imagined for one nano second this terribly frightening situation, which has engulfed us all worldwide. I would like to offer my sympathy and love to all those who are ill and have suffered losing […]
I’m currently sitting snuggled with 3 puggies on my lap in front of the fire trying to ignore Hurricane Dennis outside as the rain lashes the windows. It’s hard to believe it can be this wet, but then again England never fails to surprise us! I am fed up. Every time I go out for […]

I’ve been home almost a month now, and back to a very rainy Sussex. I miss my walks along the sandy beaches, watching the kite surfers fly like birds above the white horses…fortunately, the lushness of the Sussex countryside almost makes up for it! Galathée is enjoying our guests for the summer months, and […]
I’ve been in St. Martin, Île de Ré for almost two months now and life is wonderful. I’m always telling friends back home that they should visit Île de Ré, and this is why… I extremely fortunate to live in the centre of St Martin, as each morning I wake to the sound of church […]
I am living and working on Île de Ré until the end of May. So far, I have been amazingly lucky with the weather as the sun seems to shine most days and I wake up to the sound of church bells. I’m making new friends and seeing old ones. I take one photo a […]
It’s been a while since I metaphorically put pen to paper to write a blog about Galathée, and today we are on the brink of leaving the EU without a deal in place. Parliament is in chaos. Who knows what is going to happen next? I try to understand the many configurations of the deal/no […]
