In the evening we went to Isle sur L'Sorgue for a walk around the town which has the river running through it, for a 'promenade, glass of champagne and then onto dinner at a restaurant recommended by a local chap we know who runs his own wine Domaine. Very nice it was too!
Karen , looking pretty dam good for passing another year!
The weather has gone from one extreme to the other - last week it dipped to 20 degrees and we had about 2 hours of rain! Saturday it was 35 degrees - we ventured down to the market in Apt and after making our purchases and of course a quick traditional beer made a hasty retreat as it was heaving - quite unpleasant almost! So the rest of the afternoon was left to lounging by the pool and sharing a bottle of bubbly with friends who called bye. And then a BBQ to pass the warm balmy evening.
On Sunday the temperature rose to 37 degrees so what can you do!relax poolside is the only answer. This August has been so much better than last when we had a lot of Mistral and rain. The pool is proving invaluable.
On Monday we had been planning to start painting the windows here in the Villa but the heat is to much to work in unless you start at the crack of dawn! We had our French lessons and our daily visit to the plot but other wise decided as it was a UK Bank Holiday we should observe it and rest!!
Despite the heat the guys are working hard building the sub floor area to the Gites. And no this part does not have to be level!
For the week ahead it is forecast to cool to the mid 20's so we will commence painting - time is moving on as we are back in the UK next Thursday with lots to do before we go!!
