First supper

We now have a table and chairs, bought in brocante's, in the new kitchen. Breakfasts are in the kitchen and this was our first supper, with Angela, after returning from a snowshoe trip. The oven has been put to good use with two dinners cooked for friends, but served in the lounge. It's amazing how quickly we've got used to the new kitchen as though it has been there for years.
We've also bought a new dresser for the hallway. Perfect for showing the first of the season's sweet pea and new jug bought at Villefranche-sur-Conflent.

Happy Easter

We're having wonderful warm spring weather - in the 20Cs. The garden is growing in front of our eyes and all our seedlings are up. And, we are almost at the end of the kitchen renovation. Finally have the old kitchen cupboards empty. They will now be re-used for storage in the cave.
We've finished putting the protector on the floor tiles so have moved in other shelving and cupboards. Cook books are in too. Today we went to one of the local brocante's and found the perfect table to go in the middle of the kitchen. Moving it in is tomorrow's task.

More like a kitchen

Finally have the kitchen utilities all working properly. Have moved most things in from the old kitchen, but still finishing off the floor so some of the shelving still to be moved in. First thing cooked in the oven - pizza!
