Now the end of July and the weather is hot, we had a bad week of rain in the middle of July, which was needed for the grass. Apparently this is the driest summer for decades and Hay and straw is in short supply for the animals. Everybody seems to want to ride the horses this year, so they are having new shoes earlier than usual.
We have had some wonderful people staying with is this year. Thomas, Mette and the girls were our first Danish couple and we had a wonderful two weeks with them. This year we have had English, French, American, Australian, Irish, Scottish and Dutch, and this week our first German family have just arrived and we are looking forward to some pleasant evenings of BBQ and wine.
The deer ate all our strawberries, but other than that, the veg patch has come on a treat with everyone able to help themselves to fresh salads and vegetables.
The pool is 31 degrees today and even though it is floodlit of a night, we have a little campfire set up, which the children seem to love.
All in all a wonderful July, met lots of new people and made lots of new friends. Hope August is as fun packed.
Off to Ambazac fireworks tonight and market at St Sulpice tomorrow.
