We have, of course, spent many happy days in Normandy in the interim, most recently over a very late Easter in April, when the weather was hot and sunny and we idled our days away after a busy time at home.
The exterior woodwork desperately needs another coat of paint, the lake is drying up and needs a new overflow, damp is coming down the chimney and the clever 'Ventilation Mechanique Controllee' system which airs the house in our absence and provides air-extraction for bathrooms and kitchen seems to be playing up. Plus ca change...
Yet we had the most idyllic holidays this month, and our recent guests all seem to have had a lovely time. The Normandy peace and rural calm works its magic and we come home refreshed. So a couple of pictures to bring you up to date, and a hearty encouragement to any of you who feel the urge to come and visit.
