Le Petit Roc

31/03/2016

Everything comes to an end. I always knew, surrounded by farmers who have guarded this corner of the Charente countryside for generations, and working to a rhythm of seasons, that we were just passing through. But the almost decade has been full of family, friendship, socialising and sunshine. Thank you to the many guests who were so much more. Mathieu and Guillaume passed their childhood in the idyll of Le Petit Roc. Au revoir.

It's almost time to go, and yet Le Petit Roc looks as beautifulas ever, nestled in her small valley and protected by her ancient oaks.

The pool is looking good, but where is everybody?

Today, whilst cleaning the pool, I fell in. There's a first time for everything. Fortunately the water has reached 15 degrees and was quite refreshing after a hot day's work.

Ninth day of unbroken sunshine but a shower forecast for next Wednesday - typical.
