Lady Mary
To Bezier and Back
We have had a time of turbulent weather with with, intense thunder and lightening and heavy rain than has persevered rather than pass over. A jazz concert at the ecluse...
A Week in Marseillan
It was so windy in Bouziques we decided to come in to Marseillan instead of Meze as it is the most sheltered port on the Etang. One night and invitations later we booked in for a week. We are moored across the port from some...
Bessan to Bouziques
A complete change of scene as we spend a few days on the Etang with Dan and Mark. I love the way it is always windy so never seems so hot even in the high 30s. Bouziques is the windiest and fishiest with the best swimming, best showers, best oysters and longest...

Return to Lady Mary
After a lovely ten days in Italy we were looking forward to getting back to Lady Mary, it took four trains and a bus and we arrived in Agde at 11.30 p.m. which felt like quite feat in one day. However the painting has not started yet and a whole lot of things that...
Away from Lady Mary
Away from Lady Mary  we are staying in Portoverne in an ancient  hotel which is like a castle, the rooms are very simple and the outlook and courtyards are amazing. We arrived by boat at and explored the old church and graveyard and castles. This is where all the...
