En France

Well, here we are in France living in the caravan about 2.5km from our plot. Hope you like our version of 'Le petit dejeuner sur l'herbe'.

The second weekend in May is Bandas time and the town (Condom) is in festival mode - shops boarded up, no drinks served after 4am (!), hundreds camping in the park. Spent Sunday there listening to the bandas - Spanish tradition - lots of brass bands with percussion from all over southwest France, even Spain and Belgium. Great fun, but this being France, even the music stopped for a 2-hour lunch!

Things are moving with the construction, and we have water and electricity in the barn. This is where we store everything and is our second home-from-home. Hopefully we'll get a phone connection too next week. Big drought here, but hope it stays dry for building!
