Well, it has been a while since updating the blog but I am pleased to report that the Mole(s) have stayed away. We are amazed!!
Perhaps it has had something to do with the hot and very dry summer the area has experienced. Our family has just returned after a 5 week stay and during that time there has been very little rain, only 2 or 3 short showers and lots of hot sunshire, with temperatures reaching aorund 38 degrees and regulary being in the 28 - 32 range.
This has meant that the grass has not needed cutting and has been left parched & straw like. We are not complaining, everyone enjoyed a great summer and returned to the UK refreshed and relaxed.
Joshua had a great summer using his new camera and having some horse riding lessons every 2 or 3 days. He even set up a website for Mazeirat Centre Equestre for Lisa and has been thrilled by the response and number of hits it has produced.
This is the story of the Gray Family search for a home in France and the eventual conversion of a Barn in the Creuse that has now been turned into a beautiful home for our family to enjoy in the years ahead. The story of La Grange Grise gives an indication of our experience of doing so between 2006 and 2016. Also added are details and history of the subsequent purchase and work on La Maison Grise from 2013 and the renovation work started in 2016 on the house opposite our the Grange.
