France

One of the locals.

 

Looking good

I hope he has got four big roasting tins and a big oven

 

The big snakes are ok ,it`s the little ones that will kill you...

Those gates look great...

 

I did motion in sign they'd be good eating and he replayed in threatening French no basically.

 

The French guy with the oversized ducks does the garden over the way and knocked the door a couple of weeks back with a five foot one.

What little ones?

 

the bottom one...

I have grabbed a few ,you have to be quick and they are strong buggers ,even when your hand is on his neck they still try to turn....

There natural environment is living in tiles/rubble and under makeshift showers...

 

Yes I have found old skins hang from the roof timbers.

 

No mate, I have made a tie and a G string for Mrs lost en France......

 

Thanks made for a interesting and informative read.

 

Great pics - looks absolutely lovely there! A few comments from me:
Mrs TW needs to watch her toes whilst wielding that sledgehammer
You could do up the little cart and sell it as a trailer...
I love the look of the stonework
Is that some writing above the front doorway? If so, what does it say?

 

Looks like an apple crusher / juicer

 

Thanks

Her toes are safe, she only had one swing.
The cart, I was thinking planting in up.
Stone work needs a lot of work but we have tons of it kicking around so its just a matter of time.
We haven't managed to workout the writing its a bit to worn.

You'll have to pop in when your this way.

 

Would love to visit sometime - hopefully we'll get a proper holiday next year. The cart would look lovely planted up - a much better idea!

 

We do have about dozens of apple trees.

 

is it finished yet?

 

Which bit?

We have a back door now.

 

Found another eight while smashing concrete floor up.

Put them in the garden.

 

They are frogs in disguise. Saves getting. Ya legs eaten!

 

Wow! You've got Eminem as a neighbour! Let himself go a bit though hasn't he? You n your lovely bread knife will be missed at Techenders by the way....

 

When I lived in Lyons the local Carrefour had these sort of optic things in the wall, it was about 20p for a litre of (very very rough) red or white wine (this wa back in th'early 80's btw). Filthy paint-stripping stuff but pleasant enough after the the first few glasses had been drunk.
