The End of Tranquility?

We had learnt some time back, from JJ and Nadine, that we were going to get more neighbours. Fred, the son of our other french neighbours, Michel and Michelle, was to move into his parent's house, along with his partner and their daughter. We had thought that it was to be last weekend, and certainly furniture and bedding did arrive, but it turned out that today was the day!






We had different cars and vans to-ing and fro-ing all day. Fortunately, it's not as if they're right on our doorstep, but we are slightly concerned that the tranquility of our little corner of paradise is going to be rudely disturbed!

To show you all just how 'french' we're becoming, Sue went out to harvest some 'free' salad this evening. We're going to have Pissenlit leaves. (I'm not being rude, but the french name for Dandelion means 'wet the bed'). Sue's hairdresser, Chantal, told her to get out and gather the leaves for a salad. Sue might not have done much about it, but the price of salad and veg in the supermarket was ridiculous today. Hope I wake up in time, in the middle of the night!!!
