Bonjour all
The warmer weather is settling in and we're making the most of it. Here are the kids and I taking in some Vitamin E and keeping Ziggy and Coralie company. A few times a day these two usually bellow out loud, I think it's because they want some love, or food. Sabina has said they need a lot of love and attention so we head over to their pen most days.
Below is us after our second swim in the pool since we've been here, taken a couple of days. It's so nice to finally be using it. The water is still very cold though. I'd say it's still about 16 degrees.
Here is Jane enjoying a glass of the legendary Cahor red after dinner on the back patio. It's probably close to 9.00pm at night. The summer days are fantastic over here, really long, and there are no insects to annoy you, so mozies, no flies.
Connor is taking on a new persona, I think it's being in France that's doing it. He's going to be an ultra cool little kid I'm sure. Here he is at the beautiful Eyrignac Manor Gardens we visited the other day. Connor insisted on wearing my shades.
Here is Sophie enjoying the gardens, you can see Eyrignac Manor in the background.
We have sheep in the paddock right out our window, it's great. Here is Sophie and Connor staring out at them through our kitchen window, making baaaa, baaaaa noises I'm sure.
Over the weekend we went to three vide greniers ( means "empty the attic" in English). This is where each village has a bunch of stalls where the town folk try to flog off their unwanted bits and pieces. There are variations on this with some villages adding on a few other fun things to do, like food and drink stalls, kids rides, live music. It's basically an excuse for everyone to get together and enjoy some nice weather. Below was taken yesterday at the vide grenier just outside of Gordon, our local town. You can see the bastide and church in the centre of Gordon up on the hill in the distance, great spot for a get together.
After perusing the Gordon vide grenier it was time for a break and a snack. Here is Jane and the kids taking it easy in the back of the Renault.
The other day we visited the local doctor to check up on a few things and basically to make contact. I quizzed him on his thoughts re alcohol consumption. He said one beer and two glasses of wine per day is fine, and then he went on to say "I sometimes have more, I'm only human".... That's good enough for me, santé!
