Spotted Woodpeckers




















We can hear and see them most days, but never realised there was different types.


Bird watching





















I am fairly novice when it comes to birds. Some previous guests were amazed at the different variety of birds we get here compared to the UK. We have red starts nesting in the barn and they have also seen kites around.

They have sent the first of hopefully many charts showing us how to recognise the different varieties of birds.

Another glorious week















Weather scorching and all the guests since the last update seem to be having a wonderful time. The comments book is filling up with really nice comments about the place. We get a bit use to it being here all the time and often forget how lucky we are to live in such a stunning place.

A place that everyone seems to go is Oradour-sur-Glane a french village that was massacred by the germans in the war and it has been left, untouched, as a memorial. Stunning and yet macabre.

The pool is getting well used, kids are having a wonderful time and the adults seem to like a late night swim with the lights on it the pool and a glass of wine.
