And so three quarters of my beautiful terrace has been destroyed

Exposing the Cour to the light of day for the first time in god knows how long.

And so, in the light of day, the door into the cave looks its age. You realise that this is the original medieval foundation of the house, its massive stones standing there probably for 800 years.

But, standing on the last quarter standing of the terrace the sun gives us something to take our mind off the grey dust below.
