We are making in roads on the house with the kitchen and chamre d'hote room now decorated. It seems to take so long though with each room requring sand and rub down beams, ceiling then walls,fill all around door and window frames (long story!),paint doors and windows and then apply 4 coats to ceilings and walls. Then there are the shutters! and about 12 rooms to go , did I mention in roads!
Anyway we have learnt that the 15 August is a turning point in the summer weather pattern here.It has been very settled actually until last weekend but Tuesday we had the most amazing storm with abt 3 inches of rain in under an hour, note our sun terrace is a little wet and muddy!
I am actually writing this in South Wales - my sister Gillian was 50 last Friday and is having a big party tonight so I came over last night to Bristol and surprised her, home tomorrow though.
