Gites de France contacted us and requested “Une Belle Image de la maison” for their website.
Now as the front of our house faces due north it is very hard to get a shot of it in full sun- except during the middle months of the summer and then only very early in the morning.

At 7 am yesterday I started my vigil.

Slowly (agonisingly slowly) the sun crept down the building, at 8.15 it lit the front door (the upper windows were already out of sun) and so I got my shot.
Patience rewarded.
