Bonjour!  Beautiful day here today.  Only problem is that the snakes are coming out to bask and if I have one fear it is snakes!  Have seen two in the last two days - that is two too many!!  However on a nicer note all the veg are flourishing in the potager (I am a potager widow - John is out there from dawn to dusk!!)  and my wild flower garden is budding so hoping for lots of colour soon.  The vines are flourishing in the vinyard and our neighbour Yannick is busy tending to them - very hard work.  I will now share an exciting secret with you - our pool is ordered and work should begin in July - should be swimming in August - yippee!!!!!!!!
