What is the most important item in a French work mans van? the cool box containing lunch!
Our Gardening team arrived at 8am and duly unloaded the lunch boxes with coffee to start proceedings before getting down to some serious strimming and mowing!





The grass had not been cut for months and our driveway was fast being engulfed by triffids and brambles!



Meanwhile Dominique, a really nice gentle man, with a very difficult Provencal accent but who nows his garden work set about cutting the weeds on his ride on go cart - well actually a 5000€ serious cutting machine.



Job almost completed - 3 men and their machines in just over 3 hours and we have a garden again!



It's like when you come back from the hairdressers and wonder why you put up with it for so long!



Meanwhile Karen continues on windows and window frames ' (honestly I didn't say a thing!)



Patrick, our electrician rather worryingly uses washing up liquid( that well known trick of the trade!) to encourage the ADSL cable through the under house pipes!!



And I precariously balance on the scaffolding painting the ceilings



But its been a good week with the Kitchen and Chambre D'Hote room well on there way to being completed by early next week.
