On July 12, 2021 - Nicky says that now all the fledglings have flown their nests, hedge trimming has commenced on this glorious day!Also, our grape vine is very happy! Next time Paul is at the chateau, they will have to start putting in some wires to tie it in - we're well on our way to wine ... well not immediately!
. . .
Nicky dit que maintenant tous les oisillons ont volé leurs nids, la taille des haies a commencé en ce jour glorieux ! De plus, notre vigne est très heureuse ! La prochaine fois que Paul sera au château, ils devront commencer à mettre des fils pour l'attacher - nous sommes bien partis pour le vin... enfin pas tout de suite !

On July 16, 2021 - Paul's at the Chateau today. There’s been such a mixed bag of weather… it’s made it difficult to think about the rendering of the chalet and the roof of the woodshed. And anyway, as Nicky says, the Chateau dictates the schedule… some downed trees and branches need dealing with. The Chateau definitely dictates the schedule and that's something we've certainly learned so far in this process!
. . .
Paul est au Château aujourd'hui. Il y a eu un temps si mitigé… il a été difficile de penser au rendu du chalet et au toit du bûcher. Et de toute façon, comme le dit Nicky, le Château dicte le calendrier… certains arbres et branches abattus doivent être traités. Le château dicte définitivement le calendrier et c'est quelque chose que nous avons certainement appris jusqu'à présent dans ce processus !
Til next week!
