What the Devil?

We started early this morning as we wanted to press on with setting up our 'temporary' kitchen. However, I thought that I would move some of the large stones which are lying abandoned around the house and barn. So I attempted to move a fairly large stone on our sack-barrow (or 'diable' in french). The stone was so heavy that it burst one of the inner tubes in one of the wheels of the Diable. I don't suppose that many people get punctures in their Sack Barrow!



The workmen obviously either didn't believe or couldn't understand how we would be setting up a temporary kitchen to allow us to start living in our house. As I got some of the men to help me carry fridges and washing machine etc., they began to realise that we are serious. They'd never seen English campers before!

Sue had to get stuck in with the cleaning. We have had a naughty mickey in the Porcherie, and he's left his mark all over the place.

We're pleased with our temporary set-up; not quite a Michelin starred kitchen, but.............

Outside, we've now got another roof face finished. Tomorrow should see the 4th one done.

As you can see, Cyrille is supervising the work to ensure everything is done correctly.

The lads even had time to move the 'suspended' scaffolding round to the wall between us and our neighbours. JP was able to drive the Manitou through the gap between our 2 houses (with about 3 inches to spare either side!) So, hopefully they'll be able to carry straight on over the next few days. We're very grateful that JJ and Nadine don't mind a big machine driving over their drive.
