re-settled in Hungary from Rochdale, Lancs, England, and into a little village, doing a bit of greenish farming hoping for a quiet life... but stuff just happens...

virus times re-start

Everybody else is doing it while locked-in, so here it goes again. All is well, otherwise, Kiskassa is about the best place to be, with absolutely no reason to venture outside, I mean, besides playing tennis in Ăšjpetre, where the court is ready for us any time, with no others ever using it. And rolling out the rubbish. And seeing the delivery-man if ordered sg on the internet - tried out the on-line pharmacy, e-mag, the others are the usual ones, mobile grocer 7 days a week, fruit-veg, butcher, freezer-man once a week, and mon-fry, postlady who is still mayor Erika. She's still doing a good job, we even had some free food-supplies hung on our gate on the past two Saturdays! Well, will get in touch any time I can think of something to say... meanwhile here we are with the made-in Kiskassa masks, again, free, via Mancika, who is a retired glove-maker.We haven't heard anyone locally or in Budapest of our relations of friends or acquantences being infected - let's hope for once at least this part - early lock-down - Orban did the right thing. UK looks very worrying, with lots of people we know having close friends, relations infected, but so far, got through it ok.Marc, Sharon and little Sydney are cooked up in their house - which is very comfy, with time to put up all those shelves - next to a park, Szonya and Drew managed to get out of London, buying a neat little terrace in Reading at just the right time. so anyway, some pics, and see if I'll have anything noteworthy to say...oh, and granddad just had his 95th birthday in the care-home, where he seems comfortable now, we skype often. He says he'll be all right, he's been through worse... and now, looking through this selection, mention, that Alan now a not-so-proud Hungarian, but insured a bit against Brexit... also that he is very enthusiastically planting veggies, but happy, that the garden is only half sized. And we got a very sophisticated looking water-cleaner - at least the kettle and coffee-maker don't look horrid from limestone after one use. Lovely.
