This summer has been one dominated by a wait and see approach. The weather, French work practices, bureaucarcy, Jack's departure for two weeks to HK and Australia all conspired to defer the arrival od the pool. Fortunately the weather has not been consistently hot so we weren't sitting around mourning the breakdown in our plans.
August was pretty quiet although I was busy both with the lovely grandchildren Abby and Elliot and of course the house and garden. However Kathy arrived just in time for the world renowned festival HURE EN FETE and we went off to the village dinner to celebrate in French rural style. And then Faith arrived and it was my 60th birthday. Everyone put in a lot of effort to make it a lovely celebration for me (except me - I just sat around feeling important). It was a great night in the garden.
And then finally, the pool was finished. Still surrounded by a lot of mud but swimmable. Sadly Clare had to leave so they weren't able to enjoy it this year. Abby is starting school and Ilan's working year begins so now we are a much smaller group.
