The weekend starts early for those at La Giraudiere

Mark works hard on repairing the shutters

This Thursday the LG group worked extra hard this morning as for us it would be the start of the weekend (tomorrow Paul would be taking on a day trip). John and Derrick continued to work hard on planting their grass seeds while Marlou and Hugh continued with their work in the old house. Mark carried on with fixing the shutters, he’s been sawing and cutting them into shape so they can fit properly onto the windows!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch from Gayle before having our French lesson. Today Alison brought her friend Sarah with her to work with the group as there was 10 of us. After discussions about food, Irvin went off to cook dinner as tonight it is his turn; he made a start early this evening! We enjoyed a refreshing chicken, lettuce and tangerine salad followed by an amazing prawn dish with rice and broccoli. For dessert we headed down to Saint Bernard’s as it is also Hugh’s last evening with us. For Gayle, Derrick and Emilie it was their first time there and we all enjoyed it greatly!
