This is quite something - a map of all the fires currently burning in France. And there’s hotter weather again next week. Everything is already tinder dry 😢
Can’t clean the chandeliers without thinking of Only Fools and Horses 🙄
Change of venue for the last night of our trip, now in Figeac. Loving the desk niche in the corner of the room 👌
Peace and quiet for some evening drinks, they said. Well, almost - sound on 🙂
I do live in a big house (in France, much cheaper to buy) - the heating bills are horrendous and most of the time when we haven’t got people staying we live mainly on one level. It takes 3 days to clean. Domestic staff would be bliss to have! But I do love living here.
Yorkie looks unimpressed to be 10 years old today. He’ll perk up when he gets his celebratory steak later 🥩
abcduvin.com has poudrette as a vine less than two years old - does that work?
My girls 😍 Not in France any longer, but together on this side of the world for the first time in years
Now everyone’s gone home, I miss them so much, but I might actually be able to pay down the accumulated sleep debt 🙄
So proud of my little girl. Runner-up for salesperson of the year in her first year with the agency 🏆🔥👏
A witch and her spider familiar, ready for last night’s trick or treating 🎃
Got back to the hotel to find a bottle of sparkling waiting for OH’s birthday 👌😊
