| Darcie green eyes, always looking on |
Where has the time gone i ask myself for the umpteenth time...the time has ripped by and no posts for a year. So i will do an extremely brief precis of what has happened since my last post
Well where do i start, a year has gone by since my last may entry in 2015. In April 2015 we had battering storms that did a lot of damage to towns and houses in south west France, quite horrific damage to some including entire roofs being ripped off, lots of heartache and insurance claims. On the upside we had gentler weather throughout the main winter months and no real frost or cold significantly, until mid February the following year and then a mildish bout! Spring was beautiful here as indeed in lots of places, new promise, plants new smells and new colours and for those of us that like it...yes a little more warmth too. Milou has been shorn for the summer and Darcie did not recognise her, hackles, spits and all, very funny. Milou, Mark and I are still keeping up with our walking companions, doggy wise, and still loving the lac
We had a lovely hot but slightly wet summer. Lots of vide greniers , some gardening work for both of us, a couple we met by chance at a casual restaurant. Whom we both helped, in the garden lovely people and an entrancing garden.
My very better half turned ** early September.
Castelnau ripped in September with another beatlovs Beatles tribute band, shame it is not happening this year, danced all night, good memories and great company.
In October we had my brother and family out for the very first time, for a week and had a great time showing them the area we love so much.

Loved catching up with them and spending some time with all of them...due to both circumstances we have not really had the freedom to do...so that made it extra special x
Quiet Christmas , just me and M and our lovely furry family
All new experiences this year some brilliant and some not so good...having to find our way through the french tax system again, new sets of papers was testing and extremely taxing to say the least even with a very patient and calm french speaking friend around. However on the bright side we may be able to follow his lead for future stuff.
We are still enjoying our life and our family and all that our lovely area has to offer, it is still awesome and we are still discovering new and old landscapes.
Tonight I am going to see the fireworks in Castelnau, tomorrow is Bastille day bringing us almost to a current date in the Pyrenees!
Excitement buzzes the tour de France is coming through Castelnau for the second time in ten years, major coo.....
