And What Lies At The End Of The Rainbow

 And what lies at the end of the rainbow ? the Manor house does, say no more !!

Snakes are not always in the grass

As Chris mowed the lawns at La Petite Maison it wasn't until his 3rd pass that he realised he wasn't alone. This Viper was basking in the early morning sunshine about 12" from where his shoulder passed, no problem for him, he hooked the snake just like on the TV and deposited it back in the forest, he watched too many Tarzan films as a child ha ha !

The Giggle Sisters

 Say no more, they were that desperate to be in the sunshine they arrived before the sun. Joanne made sure they didn't get frostbite by providing them with a hot toddy ha ha!

Anything Nana Can Do

 Bonny decided that if Nana had a poorly shoulder so did she, both recuperated on the sun terrace at La Petite Maison this afternoon. Joanne, Chris, Betty, Eric, Jean & Art relaxed in the May sunshine and did just about nothing, ahhh !

Three Years at La Petite Maison

 Three years since we moved to France for the adventure of a lifetime, celebrated as it should be with a Grand Cru Champagne !

Morels

When your boat comes in it comes in, a late afternoon forage and what do we find, Morels, yes, Morels, as good as finding Truffles in our book, delighted, just delighted, nothing more to say !

A Dream comes True

 Joanne has dreamed of owning her own Kitchenaid for 2 or 3 years now and at last the dream has come true. Our very special friends Mick & Tracey surprised her with the very generous gift of the latest model in white. LET'S GET COOKING !! Joanne is absolutely over the moon and says a great big Thankyou to you both !! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
