Last week the Tempête Joachim hit the south west of France and the village of Brossac. Trees cut off several road around the village but they were quickly cleared. The tail or the outer edge just touched Brossac and it was the northern parts of Charente that were most affected.

La Giraudiere lost two trees but no other damage occurred.

The trees will be cut up and used for the log burners at LG. John, Paul’s brother from Germany, is arriving to spend Christmas at La Giraudiere with Paul and this job will be a nice way to build up a Christmas appetite
