Bated breath

My MG TF has finally been delivered to my local garage in Lavausseau. I am now waiting to hear their verdict on what is wrong with the car, and how much the repair will cost. I've no idea whether it will be 50€ or 3,000€.

an Owl's misfortune

It's been snowing today in Lavausseau. And raining Owls. Well, an Owl fell down our chimney today, and here is a photo of it. I'm not sure how we'll set about getting it free.






Well, Amanda did manage to free it, though with great trepidation. It was then released in the garden, and it flew away with great gusto.

Tannery exhibition in Lavausseau

Lavausseau now has a new Museum and Shop to display leather making and products in the village. The Tannery has been extended with considerable building work, resulting in a superb display. It only opened last week, it remains to be seen whether it will transform the visitor numbers to Lavausseau. After all the hard work in designing the new complex, and the effort put into constructing and laying out the exhibits, let us hope it does.

A development on my car saga

Groupama, my insurance company, has agreed to transport my car back to a local garage near me, from Spain. However, their Spanish expert has seen the car, and said that it will cost 3,000€ to get it back on the road. They have not said what is the problem with the car.

I've waited over a month for Groupama to reach this decision, so I'm fairly aggrieved with their delay.
