a day off!!

a lovely day yesterday messing about on the river with Dolores& Antonio- an all-day picnic, couple bottles of rose and a spot of fishing-perfik!

duckies!

up to ten duckies now! (one unhatched egg still left)

so cute!!

Latest arrivals at Velagota!

This morning we found 8 (we think!) new ducklings- very cute- will put some more piccies on when they are feeling less camera shy!

whats been going on....

A nice weekend-

Friday evening- a few beers in the bar and then a barby with spud before he goes back to UK.

Saturday- Chris, Adie and Verity came over- we had another barby and then walked up to a lovely festival in the square with traditional dancing. Lots of people in the village have come back from working abroad so we saw a few people we haven't seen for a while- all very pleased to see us and we were all made to feel very welcome.

Sunday was a lazy day as it's turned very hot again- a soak in the tub 1st thing, a lazy afternoon watching the grandprix, and then pastameatballs, a nice glass red wine for supper and then evening watering regime.

Perfick!

some more photos :-)

update!

sorry for the lack of updates- not alot of progress here in the last few weeks.

the builders have, however, finished the lovely stone wall and the timber cladding.

we have bought a freezer (sshh dont tell the piggies!)

asleep on the job

(notice body on roof at right?!)

not seen a builder for weeks and when they do turn up they need a snooze! (dont worry it was their lunch break!)
