Our first Christmas at La Maison Verte is over. Bright sunshine (see above - our garden) and shirtsleeves followed by (at the last count) 3 days of driving rain... Shop keepers in the village greeted me with a cheery "just like England eh?" to which I could only reply that we almost never saw driving rain like Roujan produces - fits and starts, yes, but not stair-rods for 72 hours; in such weather we discover just how leaky these lovely old houses can be.
However, we've been cracking on with the massive pruning jobs in the garden, and decorating the kitchen of the main house, interspersed with trips to the astonishing Cirque de Maureze (dolomitic pillars) and to the beach at Vias Plag with friends escaping the pressure of British New Year celebrations.
Looking forward to school beginning again on Monday and normal life resuming...
