We had a visit from Jennie and Ian in April, and had a great
celebration dinner for his birthday at the Hotel de Bordeaux in Pons - very
good indeed.
Our first student of the year came to stay with us for a
week. Victor was a really pleasant young man and his English came on really
well while he was with us.
Audrey and George, our friends with a house in the Dordogne, moved in and we went over to help them. Welcome to France, both of you. They came over to visit us a few weeks later, which was very nice as it was warm enough to use the pool. We had a dinner with them and our friends Penny and Adrian:
We bought and installed a new range cooker in the kitchen of the main house, and finished the apartment ready to take visitors. Here is the apartment kitchen ready for use, transformed since we took it on.
The house electricity system has a new GTL (consumer unit) which meets the latest standards, and Rhys now has some more work to do to install or modify circuits around the house to match, but at least its all safe now.
The village Maire came round for a meeting about our electricity supply from the public feed - we need it renewing in a new situation but the process is a bit complicated and we don't know what costs will be involved yet.
Jennie and Dorothy have been over to stay for a few days, as
have Samantha, Mike and Elizabeth, who flew home yesterday.
And this week we have another student, Hélène, who is
delightful, staying with us and working on her English.
