Holiday time!

A welcome visit from the Prices, with Lynne arriving 2 days later, so I had a houseful [and a caravanful].  Polly and Selwyn spent a couple of days knocking down the sechoir [previously used to dry tobacco leaves]. Selwyn particularly seemed to enjoy it!!  Strange but true.

All gone and then Rachael demolished the rabbit hutches!

We spent 3 nights at the coast and had a wonderful, calm, peaceful time in the pine forests.  A real holiday with lovely seafood!

Good accommodation

Lovely beaches

Then Lynne and I went back home to await arrival of the gravel for the boules court.  Two new supermarkets have just opened so now we have a total of 3 - yay!!  Consequently price wars have started, so at least the housekeeping is a lot easier than last year.

Anyway, back at the boules court...

It took a few days to get everything sorted  but it was worth it - it's looking good and waiting for Chris's arrival.

There were Fetes de Music,markets and Brocantes and all sorts at the weekend.  In the meantime, Kate continued decorating her new flat and finally moved in on Sunday.

Monday morning dawned grey and drizzly and on my way to one of the supermarkets I noticed that every third car or so was towing a caravan - the roads were pretty well jammed with holiday traffic.  I guess the schools have broken up.  But altogether a good day - a visit to the architect revealed that the roofers will be arriving in 2 days and Darren turned up to clear up stuff and will be returning on Friday to finish off most of the outstanding jobs - inshallah.

Last evening for the Prices and the official opening of the Boules Court, but that deserves a blog of its own
