My Mimosa Tree


Just had to show you this, I wish you could smell it on a warm February day and we have had quite a few warm days this month. The perfume fills the garden. Must buy another!!

MAYORS PARTY 2011



Once again we were treated to a four course lunch with wine and cabaret by the Mayor of Bize. It was a beautiful day outside with warm sunshine, ideal for the garden and also ideal for the choir, who were singing at the Capestang carnival. I wished I had been with the choir because although we were given a very good meal we felt that the cabaret was not up to its usual standard. Maybe we have been to this party once too often, so I think we will probably give it a miss next year.

Earlier in the week Dave was released from the Clinic at Perpignan after having another stent fitted in this artery. He is fine thank goodness, eating, drinking and smoking just as much as ever.

We had a lovely meal with our friends in the "lunch club" on Thursday and are looking forward to the next one, next week!!! I am also hoping to go to the lemon/orange/mimosa tree plant sale next week-end. The mimosa tree I bought there two years ago is about 15' tall and full of flower at the moment.

The chickens are much happier now Christopher has built a larger enclosure for them. Their feathers are slowly growing back which is a relief and we still get an average of 3 eggs a day.

C'est la vie
