What is that expression regarding having good intentions \u2026.??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started my last blog<\/a>, way back on 27th<\/sup> June, saying that it wasn\u2019t my intention to get into the habit of blogging every 2 weeks and that I will try and do so weekly again.  In my defence, it hasn\u2019t been 2 weeks \u2013 but 4!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did start to write a blog on a couple of the past Sundays but there has been only 1 reason it didn\u2019t get far (well technically 2, people called Kinga and Hinnerk.)  Kinga and Hinnerk first visited us in 2018 as guests staying in Hayloft.  Since their first visit, they have been back every year and have become good friends (as well as doing PT with Dave on Skype).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their 3 week stay with us this year (1 week working from \u2018home\u2019 and 2 week holiday) began on Saturday 3rd<\/sup>.  I would generally have written a blog on Sunday 4th<\/sup> but that coincided with Kinga\u2019s birthday which we had to mark, and that led to no blog.  The subsequent 2 Sundays (and lots of the days in between) have been equally sociable meaning that only now (they left us yesterday) I am able to put pen to paper (sort of!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not having blogged for 4 weeks, I can\u2019t in all honesty, say that there has been 4 weeks\u2019 worth of solid achievement on my projects.  While I mentioned that it has been a bit sociable (time off for Wimbledon aside) we are also now well into our summer season with lots of guests meaning much of the work that we do is the essential running of the g\u00eetes and chambre d\u2019h\u00f4te \u2013 and that doesn\u2019t make for good pics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evidently after 4 week\u2019s absence there is a lot to tell you about but, so as not to make this \u2018War and Peace\u2019, I will focus on some of the social bit and leave work aspects until next Sunday (again), although safe in the knowledge that we remain on our own next weekend so I will be able to write a blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first night of Kinga and Hinnerk\u2019s visit was the village Tantad (bonfire).  This is an event held to mark the f\u00eate day of Saint Jean, although is really just a great excuse for a party.  Sadly, it had to be cancelled last year (can\u2019t recall why?!) but was back on this year in the, newly enlarged, Salle des F\u00eates \u2013 one project undertaken by the village while the world was in lockdown.  Unfortunately we forgot a camera so I have borrowed these pics from the comit\u00e9 des f\u00eates Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
