Xmas at Bas Etang

This is our contribution to the festivities.

Frosted spiders' webs

The temperatures have been steadily dropping in Lavausseau. Just look at these webs that are accentuated by the frost.

Leo is watching you!

The flooding is slowly encroaching the lawn, but is still a foot below the bridge. 

Winter rains pour down

The river "La Boivre" that runs through our gardens has risen by another foot overnight. We have not suffered any flooding yet, but are keeping a close watch on the levels. 

Dining at the Heendeniyas'

 

We had dinner recently at the Heendeniyas' house in Boussais, Deux Sevres. This shows how welcoming they made their room for the dinner. 

Alex visits Bas Etang

 

Alexander came for an extended weekend to visit his parents, Mimi and Tony, prior to flying off to Egypt on holiday with his family. Alex is starting a new job shortly with Johnson & Johnson. 

MG TF news

The work on the car has only just begun, and I've been told that it will cost 1,250 Euros. Seeing that I'm only driving a few hundred miles each month in it, I'm annoyed that it is costing so much. C'est la vie! It is due for completion in a week's time.
