Fighting the Ellements 1 step forward 2 steps back...

Well, we were galloping along at a good pace despit the weather turning a little frosty we were able to lay down 5 Tonnes of hardcore base before we needed to order another 3 tonnes to complete the work on the 10th Feb.

The delivery truck arrived on schedule however its hydrolics had frozen so were unoperatable, even after some defrost measures. So the Truck and our delivery returned to base.

This morning I awoke to several Cm of fine snow and the air full of it so we are now officially paused due to being snowed in.

We were also unable to take Wendys MX-5 into Limoges to have the lights changed over to LHD. an appointment we had made 2 weeks ago due to being snowed in then and being unable to get out of Le Theil - the pleasures of being truely rural.

We'll report in once the snow has disipated and we can get started again.

Wendy has been busy in the Kitchen this time stripping the aweful yellow paper off the walls and re papering with white moulded paper and painting the windows, pipes and radiator white.

Of course she has also been providing us with copiouse amounts of hot brews to keep us going out back.
