Our garden visitors..


I love this time of year when everything comes to life. Birds singing away and now producing their young.

Crickets chirping....Summer is around the corner. :-)



We also have a family of squirrels, they just come and sit and watch us...although caught them eating the bird seeds this morning.















The Great Tits have families dotted around the garden, managed to capture mum feeding them...

It doesn't get better than this......

Spring has sprung.....



We are very fortunate to live in a beautiful part of France, the Charente, the 2nd sunniest place in France.

This time of year sees everything Spring back into life....trees budding, blossom appearing on the fruit trees, birds singing and nesting....and some babies have already appeared...even the air smells fresh.






















We have had some glorious "hot" sunshine days...the warmth on your back brings back those lovely memories that Summer is just around the corner.









We had our friends round for Easter Sunday Lunch.  Superb food and company....What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon..
























Dining out with my lunching ladies has started, so it's great to catch up and hear what everyone has been doing.











We went to our 1st Vide Grenier for this year...love looking, and admit buying other peoples junk :-) It is amazing what people will sell.....and buy..









Out walking has been great these last few weeks, I go Nordic walking with a friend, and we have certainly been seeing the season change...















On our walk we pass some lovely Goats...and we have noticed we have 3 new additions...









...and pot bellied pig..




Ducks..





even Donkeys :-)



....beautiful blossom & bloom.....












I have also started in the garden, my Potager. Two raised beds already, now time to fill them.. :-)
