Pool after dark
Hard to get a picture of the lights. Gorgeous late afternoon/ early evening by the pool. Last day, back to London tomorrow : (
Poolside wall
Three days of work with the amazing Jacques and we have a new wall by the pool.
Last year our neighbours cut down two massive trees giving us welcome extra hours of sunshine at the end of the day, but less privacy.
Hence the new ‘wooden wall’, ta-da!
La Grande Terrasse, Chatelaillon Plage
We spent Sunday at La Grande Terrasse while the house was cleaned. A bit of decadence. There is an amazing spa and 5 star restaurant. Splash out with a half day pass for access to the pool and private beach €37 a head! Ideal place to spend a few hours in between airport drop offs and collections and they have Tesla chargers 🙂
Zoo at La Palmyre (La Tremblade)
In with the goats at La Palmyre zoo
New chairs for the grandparents
The old folk don’t like the low sofas apparently so we have invested in two armchairs in the main living room. For Granny and Gramps with love xx
Ronce les Bains
The view from the top of the big wheel in Ronce Les Bains, followed by lunch in the fabulous Little Ronce restaurant.
We cycled, it is about 9km from the house and all cycle path but the bridge was tough going for short legs.
