Meanwhile, back at the ranch…

We thought we deserved a few days’ break after last week’s exertions, so we didn’t do much on Sunday! But Monday saw us back to work. We’d found some doors on “le bon coin”, an internet selling site; so Nick and Kieran headed off to Mirande to pick them up. They’re perfect; right size, in excellent condition and complete with frame, so Nick continued to build the wall to his workshop around the frame this morning. This afternoon saw him and Kieran put the new floor down in the bathroom; the bath should be ready to collect from Pau this week, so we’re on schedule to have it finished by the time Alex, Graham and Izzy arrive for Easter.

Today has been glorious, so I made the most of the weather and got out in the garden, planting raspberry canes, weeding flowerbeds and mowing the mole hills. The grass would certainly not win prizes in a  best-kept-lawn competition, in fact I don’t think it would even be recognised as a lawn, but it’s mostly green so hey-ho!
