More Weather


This morning we woke up to rain, the first rainy morning for months.
David took everyone to Roussillon for a sketching trip. By the afternoon
the rain had gone and we were treated to some very dramatic skies signally
the arrival of a mistral!






















Works in Progress

The work to bury the electricity and telephone cables has ground to a halt.  The next stage is for the old telegraph poles to come down.  The new street lighting give a more atmospheric feel to the street at night.

























At this time of year the sunsets are spectacular, especially when reflected in the pool.

A beautiful still evening with a hint of autumn.
After such a hot summer it feels good to have a cooler spell.
