Later, on Sunday afternoon, I went over to Julie and Chris to see progress - the roof work being almost finished - and another meal !
With the wall and windows painted, the house was now starting to look quite smart.
FRANCE ..... November 2013
A short visit was made in November to tidy up the grass and garden, prune the vine, and finish the lower wall. I managed the first two although the long grass was wet - but not the wall.
Due to the shortness of the trip I made use of the Moulin de Beslay, in Cigné, on a couple of days for eating. What with visits, to Sara and Tone, Julie and Chris, and Le Chat Noir for their Big Breakfast - time passed very quickly. Le Chat Noir is going to start weekday lunches.
Despite feeling rough with my eye, I went over to Le Barius open evening on the first Thursday.
On the Friday, after lunch at La Petite Reigniere, I managed to cut the grass - I had just finished the upper grass when the flymo stopped working, ( now dumped ).
The exertion also put me out of action for a day !

Sunday, although my eye was very sore, I had a lamb lunch
at La Petite Reigniere. Later, on Sunday afternoon, I went over to Julie and Chris to see progress - the roof work being almost finished - and another meal ! With the wall and windows painted, the house was now starting to look quite smart. |
| Monday saw me in Mayenne,
shopping, before going over in the evening to La Petite
Reigniere to watch a 3D movie, to see developments on the
12 volt conversion project, and to take a picture of the
front of the house with the pointing now done. |
Tuesday morning was spent packing and loading the car for the return journey - fine in France but horrendous in England, ( see PUG 107, page 2 ). I arrived home just after midnight - a long day.
