Yahooo! Winter is finally over!It was a long cold winter.Karl said it was the worst he'd seen in The 17 years hes been here.But all the same i had some sensational waves that were world class.I have decided to try to keep some of the existing internal wall with the hand made bricks as a feature,it should come up well.I'm finally ready for the roof and expect delivery of all the roof items on tuesday,it should be tiled by the end of the following week.Lola has more school holidays coming up,it seems like shes never at school.Corinne goes to Paris next week for 3 days to try and pass a concours for here work status,and then she starts a maternity leave replacement for a few months.The money will be handy.Ireally wanted to be in Australia in April but with all the winter weather hold ups i cant leave here until we can move in here.Hopefully June or July

Heres some shots of Lola feeding the animals at the farm about 150 metres down the road.This is Lolas favorite place with lots of cheeky goats ,cows ,geese and a pair of donkeys and their baby.We take carrots and bread down there and its always a bit of fun.A beautiful spot with a small lake and creek in a pretty little valley.

The house is moving along well and we hope to get the roof on in 2-3 weeks(weather permitting).The weather is changing and not so cold but we keep getting the odd day of rain.No special days of surfing lately but it cuold be good later this week
