Renovations are Underway


Despite having a few problems on our return to the Manor, the major one being the hot water heater failing, renovations are now well underway.
The mini digger has been and gone and all the cable runs for power to the outbuildings and gates have been laid.

Source of the Dordogne

 Chris and Joanne traced the source of the Dordogne to the mountains of Mont Dore today, it was a glorious day, cold, sunny, snowy with clear blue skies, just perfect weather to visit the mountains in Winter. There was an ulteria motive for the visit, Joanne booked everything for Chris's birthday, hotel, skiing lessons and equipment, a four night winter wonderland bonanza, who's a lucky boy then ?
Check out the 4 * Gran Carlina Hotel, the best in Mont Dore with the swimming pool at 30 degrees and the Jaccuzi at 37 degrees !!
