Le hameau sous le soleil qui se lève

Our house is the one at the end of the dirt road. Photo taken on January 19, 2018. Have I mentioned that my right wrist is much better since I started using an ergonomic vertical computer mouse?

Quebeckers come to France

For the last week or so, we've been watching YouTube videos posted by two guys from Québec who have bought and started renovating a château less than 20 miles from our house, near Valençay. I had heard about them earlier, but hadn't realized they were living so close to us. Here's a link that will take you to their numerous posts about the job they have undertaken:

 I hope the link works. If not, you can open YouTube and search for château poseidon — they do posts in English and in French.
