Bonnes fetes... 2013...










































It stopped raining today! So we headed to the edge of our world, Carmeret to be more precise...here we walked around the Alignments of Lagatjar, through the ruins of St-Pol-Roux's Manoir and onto the beautiful beach of Anse de Pen Hat...Sian, C&L and I had a great day and well worth bookmarking for visitors... Sian has been here for Noel, as ever, providing endless enjoyment and entertainment for C&L, she will be sorely missed by us all! Packed her off on the train today.... :(
Not wanting to be too British but I need to mention the weather...wet and windy for slightly longer than I can remember. I have been quietly hoping that the sheer volume and duration must mean we shall have an equal period of calm, dry, sunny days...? some sort of karmic justice.
We have been quietly busy over the last month or so, Heleen chipping away on her hoof journey, through both powder and the cyberworld...
I scored some beautiful Granite sets, hand carved around 1840's...and free!! So I have put them in front of the door, I enjoy them every time I walk over them....
Building up the energies to begin the final assault on the house, downstairs bathroom (old kitchen) and floor of the lounge...all will be finished after these....yeah right!
A certain James and Cathy arrived in December as our visiting wwoofers...sadly for them it rained for much of the time but we did manage to cut up all the wood for next winter and clear a good portion of a track, both of which we are very grateful for...
I think we shall look at wwoofing again in the spring as now is the time to plan rather than do...

So, 2013 about to begin, I hope it is a more settled one than 2012....we can tick the Euro meltdown, Mayan armageddon, Mick Romney, reformation of the Spice girls etc....the only way is up, baby...

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2013....R,H,C&L xxxx
