THE WEATHER IN FRANCE IS HOT, TIME TO COOL OFF

IMG_7462

Just love this picture of our pool, it was taken by our very first customers who stayed in our gite.  I got up this morning to the most beautiful day, sun shining, clear blue skies, birds singing.  The weather is sooo hot at the moment, I think we are in for a very long hot summer.

The kids are lucky this weekend as there are no customers in, so they’ve got free run of the swimming pool…They need it to cool off in this heat.  Glad the weather is so good as we’ve been invited to a barbeque tonight, so looking forward to that.IMG_8097 

A few pictures walking around the property.  There are plenty of wild shrubs and flowers.  I like that as it attracts butterflies and other pretty insects, all in abundance here.IMG_8096

It’s hard to keep the grass green in the heat of the summer.  Constant watering does the trick, but there are often water restrictions when it hasn’t rained for a long time.IMG_8128

The kids love the outdoors, and as you can see, there’s plenty of room for them to let off steam.  To the right the swimming pool, and the much used swings.IMG_6740

And to finish off, there’s nothing like a good old fashioned French game of “Boules”, before retiring to the terrace for a barbeque and a nice glass of red.
