The season is well under way now, the weather has taken a turn for the better,work is advancing up at La Tour de Genèbre and the kittens are nearly ready to leave home…that’s it in a nutshell. Here’s a more eloquent account of the last few weeks in glorious technicolour……

A new sand coloured liner has been fitted in the main pool

The season kicked off with a fantastic group of returning guests! Always delighted to see them as there’s a great atmosphere when they’re around! (And they’ve already booked again for next year 🙂 ) The downside of all the gites leaving at once though is ……

….loads & loads of washing….

…. and a mountain of ironing!  Never mind – some lively music, a plentiful supply of wine and 7 hours later =

job done!!

The weather has suddenly gone all Summery with temperatures of over 30°C bringing with it some uplifting views

The veggie patch is now filled with poppies where the potatoes should have been. No time to plant potatoes this year – too busy up at La Tour de Genèbre where things are steadily advancing.

Lots more work-in-progress photos on our Facebook photo album.

And finally the kittens have reached the 8 week milestone – time to launch the marketing plan. I readily admit to not looking forward to seeing them leave … I have grown very attached to these little creatures who must have been squirrels in a previous life. They can literally fly across the room , attach themselves to my legs and climb up the rest of me clinging on with their needle-sharp liitle claws… my jeans are ruined and I am covered in unsightly scratches but hey, they are so cute I’d forgive them anything!

Well that’s it – the last few weeks wrapped up in a few photos – normal service will be resumed as soon as possible!
