Driving around France

Coco making herself at home in a large bed in Coisse

Lots of work still to do at Coisse


J being put to work at Le Chardon

Having a well deserved drink - Coffee that is!

Coco & Chanel.......ahhhhhh


J and D&B in front of that small place!

Looking at the very impressive structure

We've done a few KM's the last few days, we started off in Albi then made our way, after a very nice lunch, to Millau to view the bridge, then back to Rodez to say a fond farewell to D&B then up to Chardonnay. We didn't take into account the distance though ! Doris wasn't programmed with the right time, so it was 1230 before we got there. Thankfully our hosts were waiting with large glasses of the Scotch stuff to greet us...!! A good couple of days of wine tasting - what else, eating and being sociable as well as a little working. Then we headed off to Coisse and had 24 hours with the Sheldons and are now back in our own little paradise......Liver is taking a rest now.

A Day Out - Cordes


One man and MY dog!!

enjoying the sun and the view

A lovely day out and a nice lunch - got to keep the workers happy! Nice and sunny and then off to the wine region to taste a drop or two.

Runway down and ready for use


Rolled to perfection

Now......is this what you do???

We're ready for take-off

Sunday 13 April 2008

A lovely Sunday


Inspecting the runway!

Keeping an eye on things....

All on and secure - or we hope it is!

Finishing touches before it's rolled flat

A wonderful day today, so it was off to the market and the usual shopping and meeting up with familiar faces, drinking coffee and chatting.





A certain person wanted to go to a Brocante, so off we went to Caussade to view the rubbish on offer.....!! Back for lunch and back to WORK.





Lots done today, runway almost laid and lots of weeding done. A good day and a rare treat of a night out at the cinema.



All hands on deck tomorrow, so hoping for the sun again.

Still digging and now a new drive


So, where does this go???

Covering over....nearly there

Aren't we good workers?!!

Chic the Truck into service

Coco and her best friend!

So, once the trench was dug, the cables laid and the trench filled, the men and their machine set too and started on the "runaway" as it's being called.


Chic the truck was called into service and away they went.





Meanwhile, over in the Gite, B was painting the wall and one coat is now done - next will be applied on Monday.





So they have all earned their supper...!

More digging at Lezignac


Here we go....

Man and machine make light work of it

mmmm, not sure about that ditch now!

Take the pick axe James!

The Boys Big Toys Weekend part 2

The boys having fun and getting some serious work done - not sure who the gaffer is though!!
Girls are, needless to say, keeping well out of the way. Beryl is painting the Gite wall and I'm weeding and keeping a check on the progress.

Weather is hit and miss, thankfully more hit than miss, and we've dodged the rain so far.

Boys Weekend Toy


What a big one

I'm driving!!

I want a go....!

We're watching from a distance....
