A Week of Activities

I am not sure what Laura will do on their next visit as holding a chicken and being pushed out of a window on a rope have now been done!! The week was full of excitement, work and play. The ponies and goats cannot now eat the bark from the fruit trees so 'Mr Mushroom' will not tell me off again.

Wednesday was a day of rest for everyone. We spent a lovely day out sightseeing. After the market in Villers Bocage we went to Bayeux and visited the tapestry and the Cathedral. Although we had been before they were still as amazing the second time around. I think it was all too much for Madison though as she fell asleep whilst looking at the tapestry!! After a nice lunch in a local creperie we made our way to Courselles sur Mer and Omaha Beach. It was a great beach for the kids to play on, loads of sand and a safe area to swim. We will certainly be going there again. It is also the site of the American Cemetery which we will definitely visit on our return.

Steve and Andrew spent loads of time in the valley. I think the final total was twelve and a half trailer loads of logs rescued!! The log shed is looking quite healthy. We are still waiting however, for Mr Log Man who was supposed to come last week with 4 steres of wood!!!! Typical!!

We are still waiting for the fridge to be fixed and the ever elusive shower tray!! One day they will come, perhaps next year????

The puppies are still doing great. I have put a posting on a French website today in the hope that someone would love to home the last five boys. Lets hope they email me with their replies, or I feel some very peculiar telephone conversations are going to take place. They are all growing well and their characters are even more visible now. There are definitely some cheeky ones amongst them!!

Love to everyone, xx
