The pool is full and sparkling ready to receive its first guests!


The recent rain and contrasting warm sunshine has bought the poppies out in abundance.

The vines are also just bursting into bud, this one is probably about 100 years old.Growth will not be at about a centimeter a day.


Karen has done a great job restoring the boule court ready for play and for use by our guests the first of whom arrives in just over 8 weeks.


Despite the exterior not changing much work continues on site with internal walls being built, Electrics going in and this week we hope to see a plumber!


In just 8 weeks time this will be our home for two to three months!!!


The second house is also moving at a Provencal pace! Worryingly we have three bank holidays in May, usually either a Thursday or Tuesday. In between they have ' bridge' days linking the weekend so not much happens in May!


Our bad luck with cars continues! My beloved Mazda fresh from its trip to Marseille has complete Electrical failure (( just 9 months old and 2500 miles on the clock) luckily in our drive and is taken to the 'car hospital!' for repair.
