In preparation for the season (and to celebrate the end of a long and bitter spring) we have been giving our facade a bit of a face lift.
We got the painters in to paint up the cartouches of the windows and repaint the shutters and the windows themselves. More controversially, we decided to repaint the wood effect panel at the bottom- this was terrible until we decided to age it a bit by sanding it down.
Síle has been tending the window boxes which have responded gratefully to her green fingers.

Just this morning a local man installed these wrought iron window guards (required as a safety feature by Gites de France) which he made so perfectly A L’epoque that they look like they were there forever.
