On Wednesday last our neighbour Françoise came around looking to borrow a saw, of course I invited her in to show off progress.
She was delighted, then she said I have just the thing for you, and brought me around to her house where she gave me a present of this terrific black leather chair.
It is just perfectly in period with the house and looks instantly at home.

Among the bits and pieces from Waterford Clive and Sue carried down with them was Síle’s old Johanna, it took one look at Françoise’s chair and a marriage was arranged.

This hanging sign, from an old hotel, I spotted (and bought ) in the Saturday Antique fair in Beziers yesterday (and for petite monnai ; well €50 bargained down from €60.)
All we have to do now is to change Hotel des Academies into Chambre d’Hote Le Presbytere
