Proper Doggie Paddle

Daisy finally swam today - at the lake in Montredon - and loved it!

Agility Competition, Ouveillan

L'equipe

Cheese Stall, Carcassonne Market

The most amazing cheeses "fermier" and the best creme fraiche ever...

The Lake at Montredon

You can just see the Corbierres in the background. This lake is home to several different species of bird at different times of the year

Corn Fields

This field is just behind the Chateau St Martin kitchen garden - I love those white horses (taken at 9pm just before a storm, so not the best quality pic)

Window Box

I had a great shot lined up for today's photo whilst walking the dogs tonight - but the camera chose that moment for the battery to go dead. So here's the shot taken in desperation at 11pm afetr the battery had charged again. Still - it's looking pretty

The Kitchen Garden at Chateau St Martin

I love watching this garden change on our daily walks; this winter it was bare earth

The Twins

I forgot to take a picture today - so this will have to do. Bunny and Teddy fast asleep, waiting to be taken up to bed (they don't "do" stairs)

The First Potimarron Flower

The Herb Stalls - Carcassonne Market

Selling huge bunches of mint, parsley, basil and corriander - the smell is divine

Little Teddy

The cutest chihuahua in the world

Nasturtiums

In a pot by my front door - so pretty

My House

My Daisy in the Vineyards

During our walk today

Baby Plum Tomatoes

The Corbierres

The view facing south when standing infront of my house - through the gap in my neighbours' houses

Coffee time

taken from my cafe table in town today - not very inspiring...

My Beautiful Boy

The man of the house

I have a sink in my bathroom!

Seven months for the builders to give me back the money to pay for it, three months wait for it to be delivered and two months wait for the plumber but I have sinks in the bathrooms!!!

My little vegetable patch

Red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, brocolli, peppers, potimarron, aubergines and broad beans

Tuesday 10 June

The wheat fields I pass while walking the dogs each day

Downpour!

the street turned into a river this afternoon

12 Lot les Barthes

Hard to take a good photo of this patio area at my good friends The Barrows family's house. I lived here for three months in 2007 while I was waiting for my house to be built, during which time the Barrows all came on holiday and were so sweet to me. I shared many happy meals with them around this table

A Glorious June Evening

The view south from my terrace this evening
