Piccolo Mondo's Guestbook

Rosie, from what I hear about 50 shades of Grey, you'll be needing cold shower(s)! Val x

Stuck in Bray
Hi Both You must be the unluckiest pair alive - just remind me never to go on holiday at the same time as you!! I'm still jealous though because I am sitting at my desk doing boring old work (in a warm, dry office!!). When you said there are boats for sale and you are going shopping in the same sentence, does that mean you are buying a new boat?? One with hot running water, a double shower and under floor central heating?! Saw Lis Allan yesterday and she told me Helen is pregnant again - if it is correct then that is something really good to be looking forward to. Congratulations. And think how much you will love your house when you get back to it!! Onward and upward!!!! Love C xx

Where to go
Cookham try Maliks and Henley the du vin... Xx

Date to meet
Dear Rosie and Howard, Hope our emails are getting through. Mick and I would be happy to meet up in fact we are thinking weather permitting of going for a bike ride on the Thame bike trail next week. Is that anywhere near where you are going? Do let us know if you would like to meet for a drink, Wednesday onwards. Glad you are keeping going. Love from us both Sarah and Mick

Your decision is?
Hi Captain and first mate, trouble with blogging getting to Cold Ash, must be the weather! Finally caught up with all blogs since 6th on Wednesday. Replied with useful suggestions regarding your choices, but that doesn't seem to have reached you either-strange. Sun out here for 5 mins before the rain returns. Nightly slug/snail hunt producing huge amounts of the little buggers. John even bought me a head lamp to make the job easier. Mmmmm perhaps you should return quickly before I completely loose the plot! Love from us xx

Mutiny
Sounds to us as if you are planning a mutiny - Howard will have you keelhauled if he finds out. Show some backbone and tough it out, it can't get any worse (or can it?).

Shall we or shan't we??
Keep going - what else are you going to do if you come home? It's too wet to do the gardening!! cx

Hermitage hello
What was that big party going on at your house last night? Ha ha only joking. There are rumours in the village that The Fox may be closing soon - see what happens when you go away for a while! Glad to hear you are half way, are you ahead of schedule or is it just a case of wherever, whenever? Have a lovely evening and hope Captain H has clean socks for your big night out. We saw the Olympic torch today, was a great sight and the rain held off until it had gone thankfully. Keep those ropes tight x

rain, what rain?? should have been in Wiltshire!

Half way
Glad you re half way! Would duck tape hold the hole? Hoping those ropes do hold, and you remain this side of North Sea!

Hello intrepid Thames people
Morning, another day of torrential rain in Cold Ash so we're escaping to Deal to stay with some friends. Means the slugs and snails can party after dark in the garden! Love reading the blog xx

Romance is not dead!
How romantic - such a lovely "walk" down memory lane, although a shame that Piccolo Mondo has turned into Kong's Chinese (is that King Kong?). Hope H's socks dried, cos I think he'll be needing them today. What a washout - again - still got to better than what I'm doing. We WILL come and visit before we leave for France. x
