We were invited to two drinks parties organised by my brother in law's friends and we walked there on both occasions instead of taking the car so that everyone can enjoy and have a few drinks. Had a couple of days of difficulty in walking as the top of the sandals were pressing onto the cut. Luckily it got a lot better by Sunday and I managed to try out their newly built pool. The weather there was really warm - 28 celcius !! Thought I would cool off in the pool thinking the 26 degrees shown on the pool thermometer would be ok. I was wrong ! We were only in there for 1/2 hour and I couldn't get out any quicker!! At least I can now say that I had been in.
Their house (I would say mansion!) is half finished. The fittings in there are of very good quality. Their lounge has a HUGE fireplace and is as big as Kit's 2 lounges put together. On top of that will be the master bedroom with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the fields and lake in front of thier house. When it is finally finished they intend to rent it out during the summer and I think they are aiming for the rich - looking at what they have done so far.
The pic above shows the kitchen looking out onto the pool and the vast expense of agricultural land. The fields just next to their pool are owned by their french neighbour and they had wheat grown in there this year. Last year was sunflowers and from the pics below you can see that the view was breathtaking!!
