Karen and I spent much of last week preparing Le Chene for the first clients, a family from Vancouver staying for 3 weeks. As ever, everything was finished just in the nick of time! the gardener has done a great job, the pool is spotless and the house inside looks great.
Our first clients staying in the Gites were a couple from Nova Scotia and were very happy with everything. Also last Friday a South African couple arrived staying for a long weekend in the second Gite.
So on Saturday the Canadians left, then yesterday a couple from Houston arrived. And on Wednesday another Canadian from Vancouver comes just for 3 nights. So the changeovers are coming through thick and fast!
One slight interuption to the calm was this snake which the cats were fascinated by! Whilst they were desperate to get it they seemed to know it was potentially dangerous!The weather over the last week has been abt 30 degrees and the heat has brought the creatures out the woods in search of water. We used the pool net to trap it and I tossed into the Olive Grove in front of us.Lets hope he does not come back!
An enterprising cafe offering great value in light of the recession!
The weekend was also the Luberon Jazz festival, the event is a casual evening of musicians wandering around the streets playing to all the outside diners and bars.
We ate out in the courtyard of the Platane in Apt, one of our favourite restaurants.
Before being swept over the edge of the infinity I get to take a dip in our pool at last!
