Village update

There have been enquiries about Fran's boutique at The Village.  I trotted over to the market last Sunday and captured one of the super-models from the recent Fashion Show just about to enter Fran's.

It's very well stocked!  You can glimpse Fran to the left, and her husband, Joan (in the Spanish sense) perched behind the mannequin.

Sally, above, was also one of the models.  She and her partner have taken to serenading us at just about every Village event.  Steve eventually joined them with a drum he just happened to have with him.

In a far corner, Mel and Rachel sold off some of their old togs.  This picture was supposed to feature Snowy the dog but he cleverly hid behind the clothes-airer.

And for those who remember our house at 01 Queen Street, here's what it looks like from the back these days now that it is part of the Cottage School.  I was in Bellerive to meet Madam Cyn for another delicious lunch and, of course, can't help visiting old haunts.
