Karen and I set off yesterday morning at 8am for yet another shopping trip to Avignon, that's a shopping trip to buy kitchen utensils and general bits and peices for the gites and house. We arrived home just as Sue & Tim arrived. Here for a weeks holiday, little did they know what we have planned for them!!



Today all hands were on deck, the guys doing the guttering are almost finished - note the health and safety rules using the bucket of the manitou to work on the gutters.

Our gardeners were working flat out as was Thijs and his gang. Ludo , who is doing the ground works arived with his digger and Patrick the electrician was getting the pool house electrics sorted. Tomorrow we expect the delivery of the pool side decking and Thursday the pool cover. The big cloud on the horizon is the driveway/landscaping - rain is forecast for Sunday, Monday & Tuesday - the last thing we need and it will prevent work. I have sent an e mail tonight to the clients arriving next weekend telling them all my not be as they had expected!
