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!

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