It's not pretty just yet but the renovated front door from Normandy was desperate for paint, Chris managed to undercoat between showers. There is glass under the shutters and once the original ironwork is fitted, it will be a grand entrance.

The Lord of the Manor Has His Eye In
Straight back from Provence and The Lord is delighted to be hunting again taking this nice Roe Deer on the first Battue of this season.
And a fox to boot !
Oh, and a 72kg Sanglier !
And a few wild Ceps & Girolles to add a little flavour !
Who Needs Television
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so they say, the views from the house are stunning as Autumn takes hold in the valley below.
The Manor Lives
The Manor has always been a country holiday home for the previous owners and has never been a permanent live in property.
For the past 12 years or so, it has been locked up, she now breathes and you can feel her sigh with relief, as the fires burn, she awakes to once again give shelter to those within.

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.
