Our Christmas and New year festivities are finally drawing to a close. Karen's Mum, Joan has been with us for 10 days and leaves tomorrow after her birthday today, so we have a final meal out tonight before the diet kicks in tomorrow!

Between Christmas and new year we were blessed with some glorious weather so managed some long walks and even a day on the plot cutting trees down and clearing out some of the 'over growth!'Whilst it inspired us to go back for more it also emphasized how much work we have a head of us - any one want a holiday in Provence?

On New Years eve we celebrated with friends from Finland and tucked into a splendid seafood selection!











On New Years day we took a walk around the village followed by lunch in the garden, our third successive New Years day here where we have eaten outside.



Over the last week we have had some considerable rain fall ( Yes it does occasionally!)however our team are working hard putting steps into our cellar, preparing the roof structure for the gites and assuring us there will be somewhere for us to live at the end of June! Which is essential as we have let our villa from the first week in July until the end of August.

And finally, Joan is 77 today - looking pretty good and enjoying a glass of Rose with lunch - sorry outside again!
