Nearly finished and we have chairs with seats in them

After 5 months of waiting and cajoling  we finally got the chairs upholstered. A miracle. Do these people want our business or not. They nearly didn't and it was only a final threat (in French)  that got the move on. Weird.

The finally finished chairs. No one was murdered in this process, but could have been.

However one person who never slacked off was the stonemason. Here in all its scaffolding glory is the house - repointed, repainted to a less glaring colour, with the little patio at the front. Well done everyone.

And apparently the vegetable garden is going gang busters too. How exciting.

All the pointing has been done and the scaffolding about to be removed.

We have had a lot of visitors this year and hopefully.. many more to come to share our little bit of heaven in France
