Nipped out

We needed to buy some kiln dried sand to fill in between the gaps of the pavers. In France it’s known as ‘Sable fine 0/1’. As we were out I took the opportunity to buy some fresh baguettes and visit the butchers, to order some meat to pick up later in the week. Whilst in town we saw a group of local people gathered in front of the café de ville, waiting to make a little procession. They all looked very smart and proud — so nice to see the camaraderie.

It didn’t feel like we’d been gone long, just a couple of hours, but when we returned Chris had cleaned up all the weeds and climbers from around the pool house, and Louise had finished off all the puttying that we’d started the day before.

Oh, and Chris had single handedly managed to lift two of the steps that need re-levelling.

What terrific work.
