Trip to Bordeaux

We spent a couple of days up in Bordeaux this week, mainly to see The Blues play Bordx in the Champions League, which was great. Well, it was for me. Two rows from the pitch and lots of close ups of my other man!! Sadly he was sent off, but it was near the end and apparently unjustified. We then took off to the Atlantic coast and the weather could have been summer - well, in the photos at least, it was chilly, but so sunny. A nice lunch was had and then we made our way home. A good mini break.

First time for everything?

This is the first time they have ever shared...! must be cold. I had to take the photo though the window as it would have disturbed them if I'd opened the door -hence the bad quality. Very sweet, didn't last long, Coco soon shoved him off and he's retreated into his own bed.

All going well - rain stopped outdoor work today. J is in the workshop clearning up and getting things organised ready for his delivery of "Freda". She's a yellow tractor in case you'd not heard.

Billy No Mates?

He promised a G&T and all he has is a Screwdriver!


Still waiting all alone for the promised drink!!



Need some security fencing up here!!

A geat day for the delivery, now awaiting the Gin!!

More work and help from Bert

Zola braves the terrace


James and Bert putting down bits of metal - this is going to help with the concrete - so they tell me!



Bert checking things are in order...!

Wonderful Day and it is November 15th!

Here I am ready to step out onto the new terrace, will wait for the concrete though - coming on Monday.


My little helper.....



Sunny day in GitedeFoyt land




Clear track - afternoon of leave sweeping

More things with terrace, walls and animals

Very red, very warm


Nearly there, the step ladder is in about the same place the stairs will be put and some sort of guard rail will go all around the exposed parts. The end wall is coming down to about waist height, and once the cement is on and it's tiled, we will be drinking our G&T's in the sunset...!



Agnes - be afraid, be very afraid....LOL!




Very pretty


Scary guard dog???



Other scary guard dog????

It's very red and here is how to get onto the terrace!

So, here's how it is going to work.......concrete next


Now, that's the colour we were aiming for.....warm and cosy.

Digger man cometh...

He moved my flower pot...!


Gently does it



Two doggies staying well out of the way





Left a bit...!!

BIG machine.......

Not red enough

All this painting by humans makes me sleepy!


I love this new bed, it's stuffed with llama wool



Not red enough



Trying to recreate the lovely red wall we had in St Margs!! This isn't nearly there, oh well.

It is now raining and I think we're in for a stormy night
