The work on the garage is forever ongoing ! The roof is finished, window in, doors in and the mezzanine for our junk is done, (thanks to the help of our 4 year old Grandson, Harry Bear). He was put to good use when he came on holiday for a week with his mum, dad and big brother Oliver. He was in his element helping grandad drill holes - He even brought his own tool kit with him.... Now that IS dedication.
Villa Picholine is now completely finished. I managed to fit in a spot of door painting last week and that's the last job crossed off that list - Don't worry I have other lists - Much to Bryan's disgust !
The gardens are looking very well established and full of colour and it is lovely and private. We are so pleased with how it has grown. Our daughter in law's favourite spot for her early morning coffee was on the swing at the bottom of the garden...It's also a nice place for a nice cold beer at the end of a long working day.... I suppose we will have to give that privilege up when the first paying guests arrive next week.
The sun has been shining this week and I have been alternating my time between weeding, lawn mowing, mulching to conserve water and office work. I must admit the outside jobs are my favourites; well until the 10 ton of gravel arrives next week they are !!
No pictures of the progress on the final house - The man & his digger arrived on Friday afternoon and has now left us with trenches all over the rest of the plot. Hopefully after next week when we have finished putting all the pipe work in Bryan might get his camera out for some record shots. We have 1 week to finish before our guests arrive so no time off for us...
