October Half term

Another busy couple of weeks and all 3 gites are full for the next two weeks. We have a scottish family who stayed with us in Sumer who are returning, a German family and a couple from Australia who have been travelling the world and chose us to have a weeks rest after the trip.

The weather is suprisingly sunny and hot, the evenings are getting a little cooler now and we will soon be lighting the fires. The pool is still 30 degrees.

Spent a day at http://tarz-en-arbre.com/ about 15 minutes away from us, an absolutely brilliant place, we spent 5 hours there, and the zip wires are the longest and fastest I have ever seen, a must place to visit and open all year, everyday.

The horses have just had new shoes and are all ready for a couple of weeks riding.

October in Grandmont

We had a short cold spell last week, but today is going to be a warm one with temperatures set to get into the high 20s by the end of the week. I may seem a little obsessed with the weather but having lived in the lake district for so many years, Iam amazed with the French climate, long hot summers, short sharp winters and mostly blue skies, a far cry from the weather in the lake district, but with the scenery, forest and hills of the lakes.

We now have 4 days free with no guests, so time to potter in the garden. next week and up until the end of October we are full. A family who stayed with us in summer are returning for a break and we look forward to seeing them again.

 

The pool is still 30 degrees and a bit like a steam bath when I open it in the mornings, but it is still getting a lot of use.

 

St Sylvestre held a Lasagne evening in aid of the school which was a big success, there have been plenty of good nights at Petit Coudier with live music every weekend and it is the start of the lotto season, so plenty of that to come.
