Liz said:
It is absolutely gorgeous here now. We have started the painting and varnishing for the new season and on Sunday we are taking Emma from Capestang to the top of the locks at Beziers as there are no plane trees on the pontoon so we can paint at peace without all the fallout from the seed pods sticking in it. I hope this is Spring definitely settled in now with no big cold spells on the horizon, I am in summer mode.

Doesn't this look delicious!


à bientôt,
