is perfect for long sociable evenings eating & drinking!
On Tuesday we went into Avignon where the festival was in full swing,
we have found a superb restaurant opposite the Opera house
and after this we went to a Flamenco show. The wheel is erected each year just for the festival and is right by the Rhone which flows through the city.
We were also out Wednesday & Thursday at friends houses, both nights were very late and with our wake up call at 5.50am every morning when the builders arrive an afternoon siesta is obligatory!
This weekend sees the Annual 'village fete votive', 3 nights of live music starting at 10pm till 2am in the village and there is no escaping the noise. It is attended by both locals and folk from other nearby villages and towns with a few hundred at each evening, there is much drinking, talking and dancing!
This is the band on Saturday night and a rather blurred dance floor - it is about 1am by the way!
This week there is been more progress on the second house which we have named Le Mùrier a mulberry tree which will be crossed with a plane tree to give shade in summer which we will plant in the garden.
The internal walls are being insulated after which a second skin of 7cm red block is added and this will then be plastered.
The outside staircase which will lead to the roof terrace has also been added.
Meanwhile we have our shutters which we have to paint - another job!
And these stones will be used to face the wall, in front of this will be lawn then the pool.
