10 Days since I last blogged! where has it gone! Well the Mercedes has gone, some money towards the swimming pool! And another mission accomplished.
We also seem to have successfully negotiated a satisfactory deal on the windows and shutters for both houses so will be ordering this week ready for October delivery giving us the time to get them all painted prior to fitting.
The weekend was taken up preparing for our first real party on Sunday evening - a bbq for 25 friends - folks we have met over the last 2 years - all went really well with the straglers leaving just before 1.30am!! On Monday, it was a little cloudy so we decided to walk off our 'tired heads' but the sun soon came out and we turned back to the village to the bar for a hairy dog - I think we peaked at that point!I should also mention Martin arrived sunday morning and did a sterling job as waiter/bar man so if you are having a party I can forward his number!
We took him to St Remy de Provence on Wednesday where the market was on - the town was heaving which reassured us tourism in Provence is very bouyant!It is a lovely town with many stunning buildings. Does your dry cleaners look like this?
The house is coming on with the 'Vide sanitaire' being constructed which contains the pipework under floor - the closed in area will be the wine cellar,the floor slab will sit on these blocks,
meanwhile the second house is playing catch up.
Weather is perfect, 32 to 35 degrees and an overnight low of abt 20 - lovely! Sorry England! Are we missing the rain - NO!
And finally a note from our sponsors 'the Allos group' for the hats to keep us cool!
