L'hiver est arrivé
February 2012
Well just when we thought we had escaped winter because it has been so mild. The winter arrived suddenly last week, with lot’s of snow and severe temperatures which we have had now for over a week. The temperatures have been extremely low overnight that on Monday we awoke to no water and frozen gas. A pipe somewhere in our very thick walls had frozen.
The road outside of our house is lethal so we are not attempting to go out in the car, so hope the store cupboard will last a few more day’s .
Quelle Surprise!!
June 2011
We had our first rain for weeks yesterday so thought I would check to see how much water we had in the water butt. Well when I lifted the lid what a surprise to see two baby frogs sitting there. They are European tree frogs and this is the first time we have seen them here in the garden.
Concert Eglise Notre-Dame
April 2011
Marie-Claire our near neighbour was once again performing in a concert to which we were invited.
This time it was held in a church in a nearby town. Two choirs took part and towards the end they got together to sing some of each others songs.
Being in a church the sound was excellent. It was a full house with people standing.

Spring
April 2011
Well spring has well and truly sprung, we have had some lovely weather over the last few weeks. Temperatures in the twenties has felt like summer.
Been back to England for a short visit to see family and friends and was extremely lucky with the weather then as well, it was good to see everyone. Really noticed this time how busy the roads are in England compared to here in France.
Been busy planting up the veggie plot, the potatoes are already coming through.
It is also the time when the procession caterpillars start to leave last years nests and start the long journey of crossing to new trees.
This year we have seen some as long as 5 foot (they all join together) Not many make it as they are so slow moving they are squashed along the way. We know now not to touch them as they are extremely poisonous.
