At last we have some better weather enabling work to start on the rendering. This encompasses an initial coat in grey, a second thicker coat and finally the coloured top coat. There is a tableau around the doors and windows in a paler colour. This whole process by hand could take a while!
Already the gites are showing signs of change!
We are now pretty much settled into the house although the number of boxes we have unpacked seems never ending, some of these have not been opened since we moved here 3years ago.
Martin is staying with us for the week and in between work duties we will take a little time out to relax! Sunday we went to Fontaine de Vaucluse, the fountain of the Vaucluse, a natural water source that we last visited 18 months ago when we could walk deep into the cliff where the source originates from, it was virtually dry.Now it is a dep , intense and power full source of water feeding into the Sorgue river, popular for canoeing and kayaking.
Yesterday was rememberance Sunday in the UK, it is a bank holiday here Tuesday on the 11 so many people have taken a long weekend and it was incredibly busy with every restaurant packed.
We couldn't even get a beer!
Martin and Karen looking relaxed before they realised we could not get served in the bar!
