Le Pluie

It’s been raining. Lots. Our washing has been attempting to dry on the line for 4 days now. This is not what we came travelling for, but it’s definitely proving to be a very grounding experience. Today we have been pulling up onions in the drizzly rain. Our other tasks over the last week have been to weed the leeks and plant some fennel.

Not much else to report. Darren has temporarily (we hope) lost some of the use of his right foot, so we took Tuesday off for him to recuperate and we’ll work at the weekend instead. We were going to go for a walk on Sunday but that’s when the rain really started so we’ve been a bit holed up for the last few days. Hopefully we’ll get the chance to go into either La Souterraine for the market on Saturday or to walk into Lussac Les Eglises, the nearest town as the forecast is looking a bit more promising. And I might get to post the postcards I’ve been trying to send for the last two weeks!
