But I shall be there much of the summer and from September we will have more free time - a mixed blessing as my son goes to college.

If only we could get the building work finished! At the current rate of progress we worry that it could take all summer.<br />Leroy Merlin have been brilliant. Their aircon engineer came to look at the job, the devis arrived, the parts were delivered and he did the work, all exactly on schedule and within six weeks. We now have air conditioning upstairs which is a joy and will make living here much more comfortable in the hot weather. Temperatures are forecast to pick up to nearer normal next week.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-26885014907164102732023-05-27T08:17:29.361+01:002023-05-27T08:17:29.361+01:00Tim, it's definitely one extreme or the other ...Tim, it's definitely one extreme or the other with our weather!

I'm glad you are not spending all of your precious time in France on housekeeping! (says the woman who bought paint for the bedroom last summer, and it is still in the can) Is that white wisteria? There's lots of the lilac variety round here this year delightful. No brocantes - but the local Village Yard Sales start up in June and they are such fun. Enjoy the sunshine! 😊☀️😊Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
