A long time since my last Blog

I've not done very well with this recently.  We went over to La Matha at the beginning of December last year - the weather was really good: crisp but bright and sunny.  We had a fantastic time, visiting the Christmas market in the cloisters in St Emilion, eating at La Terrasse in Duras (which has come good again), and in Chai Pascale in St Emilion.

We bought a new television, which highlighted that the satellite digi-box is poor, so I'll be replacing that.

We also went out for my birthday - something we've now done for the last three years.  Again eating in La Terrasse was good.  We also went to La Table Rouge, which we went to back in September.  A delightful little restaurant by the Dordogne near Castillon.  That has definitely proved to be a really good find!

Next trip is at Easter, and sometime after that, we hope Chris will be rendering and tidying up the back of the house - it does look a mess at the moment, but with the stonework in the "pierre apparente" finish, and a new fuel tank stored in the lean-to, it will be a big improvement.

We have most of the summer booked up - only one week in July and a bit in June free.  Let's hope we have good weather in the summer!
