Wednesday, Hiroko has been making the finishing touches of her Japanese blog and web pages well worth a visit the link coming soon. The fridges got a well deserved sprinkling from Hollie and Vanessa. Emily helped by John carried on with the gardening. Paul, Hugh and Sergey were finishing off with the wall in Gite 4 when disaster struck – Paul went and injured himself and needed to go to the hospital at Barbezieux.  Luckily John was around to take him he can now take a few days deserved rest. This is a poignat reminder that you should have adequate insurance cover as the bill for Pauls treatment would have been in excess of 2,000 euros.

Sidney enjoyed a lovely bath which cooled him down lots on this hot day, he’d been panting all day! – 35 degrees C

After work, Vanessa, Hugh and Emily popped down to the lake before Hugh (with the help of Vanessa) cooked us dinner – chicken, mash, peas and carrots topped of with gravy! Paul has been resting his leg!
