Looking forward


What are we looking forward to doing in 6 days time when we get to Paillange?

Picking wild mushrooms for breakfast( Russian Roulette anyone?)



Here are two who lived to tell the tale!

Lots of scything

Picking blueberries

Swimming in a slightly fresh mountain lake

Looking back - in anticipation


As we get closer to leaving and really cant wait I have been looking back and found some pics from before. Nog loves going to France - this is him in his favourite spot in the woods above the house with his bird's eye view

Bubble Angel


No pics of the windows yet but here is Isobel trying out a new french style haircut for the holidays - Marie Antoinette!

23rd July 2011: Windows now in !

David Arnold has fitted all 7 new windows and one porte fenetre (for our bedroom), double-glazed and inward -opening with curved tops like the originals...Can't wait to see them! Charlie said they looked beautiful in the workshop specially chosen good quality oak wood and lovely curves etc....they fitted perfectly....maybe I will get a pic to post here soon - if not will have to wait til we get there on the 29th July...
