Here we are back from a quick trip to England to catch up with family and friends. A lovely few days but they passed in a flash.

A photo shoot preceded in the Tarn region. A beautiful farmhouse and buildings converted into holiday lets. We were lucky with the weather - cold mornings but sunny days, hopefully the pool and outside shots don't look like its the middle of winter.

We are sat doing post production looking out of the window on a lovely sunny day, wishing we were out in the garden. Our daughter bought us a bird table for Christmas and while we have been away the birds have started using it. we are now watching 40 plus birds falling out over what it has to offer. They have been perching on the new balustrade around the terrace and it is now covered in bird droppings. I suspect that when the post production is finished it will be moved further into the garden.

A walk with Charlie is imminent - That's if he has finished sulking after a few days in the doggy home.

2012

Well we couldn't have wished for better weather for New Years Day. 17 degrees with wall to wall sunshine.  A mornings hard labour in the garden, lunch on the terrace & a walk with Charlie Dog = a perfect day.

What a difference a day makes. Only 10 degrees & cloudy - still it's better for working in.  Bryan is working on the dry stone wall at the entrance today & I have had a productive day placing large stones along the driveway for borders.  We are desperately trying to finish all the jobs on our to do list before we get the paperwork through to enable us to start on house number 2.
