May 21st - 6 years, 6 pictures

 Ah yes, bolt croppers.  The bolt croppers that needed to do a bit of Dentistry on Boris.

Awwww - ducklings, just a few days old.  This is Matilda, who is sadly no longer with us, but her sister Hilda, is currently sat on her second clutch of eggs this year and our new duck Hettie is due to hatch her first ever clutch in a few days (if only she will hang on that long - I fear she is getting impatient).

Believe it or not this is the gite and no, that is not a noose, but ropes needed to hold up the new beam.  The old beam at the top is now a central post between the living room and kitchen.

The first pigs at Eco-Gites of Lenault ...called Crackling and Scatchings!


I hope you enjoyed our little tour of May 21st each year that we have been here in France.  Why don't you have a look back through some old photos and post a few from a given date.  Let us know if you do and we'll come and have a nosy!
