The house construction moves on , at what feels like a slower pace this last 10 days! The damp course is added externally with a deep gully at the bottom filled with pebbles and a concrete gully to take away any rainwater that might get through.
The lounge and dining room await the next stage - Electrics and under floor heating. Hard to imagine we will be living here in just a few months (or 6!)
The plasterer has started work in the Gites, typical Frenchman to bring his own clothes stand!
Spring really seems to have arrived with the beginning of April renowned for the Spring blossom on the Cherry trees.
Our houses are perched in this hillside, if you double click on the picture it will enlarge, you can see both our new houses slightly to the left of the cabonon , the grey one is then to the right with ours in the red block.
The second house awaits some attention like internal walls, windows etc
A large crane has recently dominated the village as the retirement home has undergone a massive extension over the last 18 months, so now they can round up and house all the old folks!! Everyone is glad to see it go.
The lavender is aleady growing and will flower in July.
And the vines remain dorment for a few more weeks before starting their growth in May at a rate of one centimetre a day!
