Chicks......

The chicks are growing, day by day. They now sleep in the big coop, although they haven't progressed onto the perches yet. It took a couple of days for them to put themselves to bed in their new accommodation.

Our other chicks have hatched, four baby redsarts in the box, getting louder and more demanding every day. The adults are very brave, totally ignoring all human activity going on around them.

The garage is now complete, which means we can start to clear other areas of the house.

Just needs the doors painted now!

Hugh and Tom are taking over for the weekend, while Nicole and I have a weekend off! 

Me, Tom and Nicole

Tom in the pool and Nicole thinking about it!

Filming the preparations for a visit to the Maire, me clutching my trusty dictionary, just in case!

They also filmed us putting these coins back in the wall, where they were found.

The kitchen cabinets, made up in preparation to be fitted at the weekend when the tiling is finished.

The beautiful tilleul, or linden tree, in full bloom.

And finally, this amazing moon rise last night, which we watched while sitting on the terrace.
