Sun, sea and ice cream...
I love Devon. Particularly north Devon where I am holed up for the next few weeks. The weather is just amazing, the beach is in walking distance - very short walking distance. I can hear the sea through my open window when I wake up in the morning. There is an ice cream shop - where they know my name - within 100m. The pasty shop is even closer than that. I went in the sea for the first time yesterday. Blissful. It is verging on warm and the water is crystal clear. Such a wonderful place.
I have recently purchased a shopping trolley called Molly. I haven't given the trolley a name in a strange invisible friend like way, the trolley is actually called Molly by its manufacturers, Tripp. You can find them online or you can get them from Debenhams and I'm telling you, they are brilliant. A bit like a rucksack on wheels, you can get all your shopping in them, wheel them through town with ease and get on the bus no problem. For those of us not able to drive - me because of lack of vision, not excess points I might add - they are hugely liberating and make lugging heavy bags of shopping home with hands tingling and arms ever lengthening a thing of the past. You need to get the picture of the tartan shopper so beloved of the older trolley user right out of your mind. This is cool turquoise, yellow or black (mine is turquoise), is fully waterproof, has rucksack like fastening on the front, zips open down both sides for easy access, has a lovely squashy comfort grip and, wait for it, has a bell! I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to give those pavement hogging pram pushers a run for their money. Have I ever mentioned the Clapham anti-pram league? No? Well, that's another story. Enough about shopping trolleys - you'd think I'd just turned 70.
Anyway, loving every minute. Just got my 47th free picnic gift from M&S in Barnstaple for having bought 6 picnic items or more - food I was going to buy anyway. One can really get the value in life if one tries. I even went to Argos today - that's twice in one month and I'm not sure I've done that since I was about twelve.
Have a lovely weekend.

Cor... now I could do with a pasty. They just don't do anything like that here in the south of France. Have one for me eh?!
Thanks for the updates here. I'm sure I'm not the only one reading them, so keep it up.
Lots of love from Lizzie & Ali at Le Couvent in Roujan
