Especially for the children where you have provided lots of variety of fun activities to keep them amused (floats, balls, movies). you have a wonderful home, views to die for and we have enjoyed every moment.

Stuart Moss, you should be here with your phone app to look at the stars. The last two nights have been absolutely fabulous.

What a fabulous day. Started with the local Club de bonne humeur and a buffet/ picnic. More wine than anyone could drink, followed by Rickard, Brandy and something that I could not pronounce, let alone spell - one teaspoon was more than enought - tres fort! Yes, I took it easy as I knew it would be a long day, except on the dance floor. The 'Professor' decided that I was not going to miss a dance. Slung in the deep end by being seperated from my English es**rt and sat on a table with all French speaking people. I think it was fabulous and I learnt a lot and made several new friends. A short break (and a shower - knackered already) and I was picked up by three hot fellows (two French and one English) and taken to the Rock music, fish and chip night in Boussac, with mushy peas. This one organised by the AIPB club. They prepared a brilliant night and they must all be exhausted. Food excellent - even though I was still full from lunch - I managed to eat it all. I did give my gateaux away or I might have popped. Just got home and cuddling the doggy. Bob does not know what he has missed. Hope your day was as successful honey! Thank you to all those that made this day a totally brilliant day. ###

We have had the most fabulous guests for a short stay over Christmas. I do hope they come back again.

We have had some fabulous weather over the last few weeks. T shirts in the garden. Cold at night but brilliant days. I guess it will not be a white Christmas here this year but perhaps fabulous for the children to play in the garden. So looking forward to it.

We are going to start preparing the pool area tomorrow for our next guests - it has been so very warm recently. Wearing T shirts and still hot. Magpies nesting in the big tree in the corner of our garden. Swallows and house sparrows building nests in and outside of our barns. Lambs bouncing in the field next to our garden. Last year Katie helped Gerard feed them while our neighbouts went on holiday. Spring is so very much happening in our wonderful part of the world.

Officially spring - Swallows have returned and are being very friendly to each other. Hopefully they will again nest in one of our barns. They keep the bugs off the pool, so we house them and they help us.

Bobby built me a wonderful bird table. It has lots of places to hang all sorts of food. So far we have been lucky enough to have a wild variety of birds visit us: Blue T**s, Great T**s, Chaffinch, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Green Woodpecker, House Sparrow, Hedge Sparrow, Robin, Sparrow Hawk, Nuthatch, Blackbird, Magpie, Crow, Pidgeon, Dunnet, Wren and Barn Owl. It is costing a fortune but worth every penny. In October and November we saw thousands and thousands of Cranes flying south for the winter - day after day - they were very noisy and magic to watch.

How can it be? I am not saying we are blesses but today was extemely wierd. I popped to our local shop (8 mins away) and had to put the sun viser down. Got my shopping and on the way back had to put on wipers and slowed down to 30 miles per hour as it was snowing. I turned off the main road to our house and had to put the sun viser down - warm and sunny. It has been warm and sunny all afternoon. I think we are bessed.

I do not understand the weather - I have fresh parsley growing, flowers on my geraniams; winter plants are not flowering, but grass needs cutting. Might just open the swimming pool early this year.
