Happy Christmas, everyone!
May we immediately assure everyone that our radio silence for the last two years has not been because we’ve finally navigated to the great marina in the sky.
No. With considerable quantities of fuel left in life’s tanks, we’ve loved many months in the magnificent country of South Africa, spent time with family and dear friends, cruised the west coast of France (again), remedied some difficult faults on Play d’eau, and, and, and….
I mean, they say that when you retire you become more busy than ever and we can attest this to be absolutely true.
Now it’s Christmas 2017
So after such a long period of silence, the keys of my new laptop have started clattering away as I renew friendship with our website. Hence, we take this opportunity to trust you will all have a magnificent Christmas and an exciting New Year.
The Reason for the Season
As we know, the reason for the season is Jesus. Hallelujah indeed!
2018
Whilst we contemplate 2018 and make plans, one of our New Year’s resolutions is to keep the website up to date. So we thank you for your patience and ask you to keep a listening watch on this channel.
On a personal note
Whilst thinking of the reason for the season, Lin and I especially thank Him for the recent miraculous healing of a dear friend of ours. And we mean miraculous. Reality is reality.
Happy Christmas!

I am so pleased your Play d’eau website is up and running again-I love it! What a stunning photo! I looked at it and pondered for some while before deciding (with some help from Piers) that it is just beautiful and inspired, too. Thank you for starting up again. Hil x x x
