Winter is coming Jon Snow

This week saw us preparing for winter.

We had 2 cords of wood delivered.

Now all stacked ready for those long cold winter months ahead.



We had a lovely night out in Boussac on Saturday night.

The Dollies French were appearing at the local Salle Polyvante in Boussac.

It was a very entertaining performance by the 3 ladies.

The theme was music from the 40's.

It was put on by the AIPB ( a group of people that encourage multiple nationalities to engage in local community events).

We celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary on Sunday - Bill can't forget the date 11 Sept.....thanks Osama Bin Laden.

We took a drive to Chateauroux, passing through St Severe on the way.

They had a huge brocante.

This town is beautiful and pretty close to us.

It's a vibrant village with a Boulangerie, Pharmacy, a few restaurants, post office and a number of banks.







Chateauroux didn't live up to expectations. We had only passed through this town from the train station as a pick up and drop off destination.

The center of town had a number of new buildings which looked quite ugly and not in the french theme.

Going on a Sunday meant we expected everything to be closed as is the way in France but we did happen to find a few coffee shops/restaurants that were open.

However, we both agreed, that the church was probably the pick of the sightseeing here.

A friend has kindly given me a lot of material this week as I was after some curtain material.

So much sewing for the winters months - will keep me out of trouble.





Next week - PORTUGAL and SPAIN!!!
