Coming together

The rally was a great success in spite of a couple of good storms. The entire group were so cheerful and positive that we enjoyed it as much as they did. I had a great day out with them on a coach trip to Lourdes, Cauterets and the Pont d'Espagne and we both went for the final meal at Audaux, which was a great evening. The food was as good as always and the atmosphere was just lovely.

After a tricky spell with the gate the pool fence has finally been completed - the gate is managing to confuse some people a good deal older than the five-year-olds it is deigned to keep out!

The gable end of the house has now been finished and we even have shutters on the new part.

Much to our surprise the gardeners decided that they could sow the grass this morning and a team of youngsters worked all day in the sweltering heat. They have done a terrific job on the parts they have managed to sow - we just need the other parts to dry out and we will soon have the place looking great.

Just a quick P.S.
After one of the storms Mary and Lynne were obliged to ask their fellow campers for help in propping up their broken canopy. I don't think Adrian's offer was quite what they had in mind!!
