It’s been over 2 weeks since the last post & another 3 days lost to jours fériés. With the weeks’ absence earlier that’s 10 days lost in total. We’re glad to see the back of May. The next jour férié is Bastille Day 14th July & we’re organising a big soirée in the village with our pal’s Rocket 81 band, & so we’ll be having the day off as well!
There’s quite a bit of progress but much of it “hidden”. The lintels are slow detailed work but well on their way now & the garage floor & walls can start soon. Then hopefully on to the roof.
You can now see how the house will be laid out.
We’re having the weirdest weather at the moment, with glorious hot sunshine & then cool & cloudy. There’s huge thunderstorms rolling around most days, often to the east of us, which is odd in itself, but rarely bothering us here. We still need the rain but storms right now with huge hailstones ruin the vines & the the young fruits on the trees, which are absolutely laden with produce.
We’ve changed our winter to summer wardrobes & opened up all the outside space, so come on summer.
We also had a long weekend in Dublin for the EPCR rugby finals, with French teams winning both & Sergio Parisse playing his last club game. What a career & it was great to see it. It was also great to meet up with the rugby “gang” again for the weekend party!!
Looking forward to the Rugby World Cup in France later this year & it’s easy to see why France & Ireland are in with the favourites.
