Is this enough to see us through the winter?


this is two tonnes of wood, so we're hoping that it will see us through the winter and for the Gite if anyone is in it.

Lots going on in FOYT at the moment as you can see. It appears there are no baby llamas coming, we think they would have given birth, even with a late delivery, by now, so perhaps lucky Campo will get another outing sometime.

Weather is superb here, but getting chilly in the evenings, so the winter duvet is out, but the underfloor heating is not on as yet...!

We're still walking on Wednesday and James is enjoying his Ranger work on Tuesdays - not sure if it's the old farmers or the fact they drink from 0800 till mid-day that he likes best..! But he's managing to talk and understand them and of course likes the work, so that's good.

I've given up my French class and will be taking one2one lessons next week with a lovely French lady, Nadette, as and when we can fit it in, so hopefully about once every 10 days. So no pressure to be somewhere twice a week at a time that doesn't suit any more.

Enough from me, October is round the corner so had better get on with more gardening..

Love to you all

This is where it is going to be - get the Gin ready

Keeping an eye on things!


So, this large lorry has to get down to where it's going to be built, after taking out lots of branches, the nice man (who swore a lot) managed to park it and unload, all good fun....

We had a busy few days travelling over to see Fiona and Graham and helping lay the new kitchen floor. Many hands made light work.......Good to see Chris and Tratty too.

Onwards and upwards to Chardonnay to help celebrate Sophies birthday, a lovely afternoon and evening was had, as well as good food and wine of course.
