Wed 30 April
We worked hard in the garden because we want it to look good for Henriette and Jackie's biannual visit tomorrow. Stopped for a coffee and the phone rang. Chris's friend from the Mairie. The Planning Permission has been granted for the garage as long as we confine ourselves to the small plot. Lots of talking to do!
Sunny, lots of work done but not by me as my back was playing up! After a couple of hours I had to confine myself to cooking and housework.
We went to meet 2 couples in the evening. I think Chris was hoping it would be wife swapping but it was actually a Gardening Club. Everyone seemed very nice and it was good to talk to some new people. A good end to the day.
Thurs 1 May
A bit cloudy today but we weren't going to work anyway as Henriette and Jackie were coming with Doreen and Jean-Luc. They hadn't seen the house for 2 years so could see a massive difference and seemed impressed [at least until they went indoors].
We had a long, leisurely and enormous lunch at Le 8 and then back to the caravan for coffees. Once everyone had gone, we sat in the relatively warm caravan, reading, drinking tea and listening to the rain pound onto the roof.
