Time to Reflect

Today, Thursday, is a national holiday (Toussaint or Halloween) so no builders. This morning I had time to reflect on our visit to Oradour-sur-Glane. When we took David and June back to Limoge airport last Tuesday, Sue commented that we were very close to Oradour and so we diverted to have a look. For those of you who haven't heard of it, Oradour was a small town which was burnt and all of the inhabitants killed by a German Panza division on it's way to Normandy in 1944. The remains of the town have been preserved as they were left, as a memorial to the victims of this atrocity. There is an excellent Visitors Centre and I would recommend anyone passing by to make the effort to go there. It is a very humbling experience. For more information, search on Google; there is lots of information.


On a more mundane level, I finally got the door on the porcherie. All that is left to do is fit the last two large panes of glass whenever I eventually get them.



Our intention is to use the porcherie to store lots of our furniture and things whilst our builder demolishes the floor of the house. We've got this weekend and the start of next week to get ourselves organised and out! We feel very lucky to have the use of the house of John and Lesley, our english neighbours.
