Goodbye Maude
She grew up so fast since we brought her home just a few months ago… Sadly, she wasn’t with us long, but she brought us a lot of joy in the short time we knew her. The yard won’t be … Continue reading
Les Verrines from Above
120 degrees of Les Verrines. (The view from my office.) You can get a good idea of the size and layout of the property (Front garden, side vegetable gardens, field and forest behind) in relation to the house. The house … Continue reading

State of Affairs

This was what we were greeted by when we drove up… Not exactly the prettiest sight, but it’s more or less what I had expected.
