Better weather and Mans work!

The weather has been getting better in the last week or so (apart from rain yesturday).  We have been in the garden getting the vegetable patch ready for the summer.  We are complete novices but had a great crop last year from the garden.
For our visitors the garden is available anytime to chill out in.  We have BBQ and hammocks available.  (the picture below is of Stevies Garden not ours!!)  but it looks just like that honest!

The plan this year is to have a marquee up in the garden for the summer so our guests and us can enjoy evening parties and Jam sessions.

ta ta for now!

Away but returning for Chakra alignment and Ladies evenings!!

So we are back in the land of hussle and bussle! (Blighty!) This time just for a week.  Vince has some shows to do during Cheltenham race week and I have returned to purchase some equipment for the Spa.  For your information when we return I will be advertising a series of Ladies evenings with free demonstrations of new treatments like 'non-surgical facials' 'hot-stones' and hopi-ear candles.

These are going to be free evenings for up to 8 ladies to experience what these new treatments have to offer.

Stay tuned for the next blog on Chakkra alignment.

First log fire!!!

So we decided to break out the unused fireplace in the front room.....and....we havent killed ourselves!!  yey for us!:)
The house is still sanding too!  yey for you!:)

When will it all end?????!!!!

So this is out first post for our Retreat in Le Dorat France.  I thought the weather was bad in England but here it is absolutely freezing!!!  Last year Jax and I got burnt on a couple of lovely walks!!  As you can see from the pic...spring is definately in the air!  Oh well I sure it'll turn t some point.

We are making in roads into grasping the language and have a meeting today with a French teacher in Bellac!  For anyone who is interested in almost FREE lessons and live out here please email us and we will do our best to explain how to do it..it involves a letter in French to Limoges and a form to fill out but at the end you get a government voucher for 100 or so hours of French lessons subsidised  €10 for a lesson will cost you €4!!!!!!!!!!

more soon
