Gravir Life

Returned from Xmas mainland break to find frozen,burst pipes in loft had made a mess!!!!! House flooded and unihabitable so what now/next. Insurers advise short stay BB/Hotel (yuk!!) and I take few days to find rented house in nearby village. Insurers send Loss Adjusters and we all start working out exactly what is ruined or not. Inventory of household items does not reflect sad feeling of gut-wrenching concern about what it will take to restore house and replace items.  Insurers will pay for 3 month short-term stay in Orinsay (pics to follow) which both beautiful and convenient. 6 weeks later am still in negotiations with Insurers over specific items (have you got receipts for all items over £250?) but we are getting there. House should be ready again by 1st week April so busy sourcing carpets and goodies for house to be restored (I was going to decorate anyway!!!) but some things will take longer than others.

I had booked(Jan/Feb)  1st trip to Girona and 1st trip to Bezier on cheapie airline (sorry Carol,lunch another day) but lost out on both as admin/Life took priority but still sulking about that at least.

Met the interesting Soaplady whilst guiding kids around West Coast on very yukky day…..feedback  so far on soaps is YUM ….!!!

35 years ago today, I became a Dad for the very first time. My beautiful,precious,weanie,vulnerable little girl was born. From the moment I held her in my arms and felt/smelt baby, I knew it was going to be a new Chapter in my Life and this little person would make a difference in mine and many others Lives………All grown up and fully independant (with Husband plus Daughter) but still so very precious. Much love from miles away from Dad/PapaG/RJG
