Long time no blog ....

.... but here we go again with a random selection of photos.

I've been busy helping Matt each morning, but now the main chef has started at la Paillote Tine has reduced her hours a little as there aren't many people around at the moment. There are signs that business is picking up however, and French school holidays start in a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed then.

I'm sure climbing on the roof is not part of Tine's contract, but that's the only way to put those long blinds on, otherwise it can become stifling inside the restaurant. Cousin Charles climbed up to do the last two thankfully (and is still in one piece)!

The second photo is really for 'er in Brittany who asked what the orange was in the webcam at by the jetty - here's the answer, dear. Shame you won't read this until you return to Morbihan! It's good that there is more activity on the sea these days. Here are some beginners learning to sail. There's another race from La Tranche to the Isle de Rez and back tomorrow if I get up on time to watch the departure - not very likely, I fear!

Charles and Stephan dressed up Matt's car one day - I'm not sure if it went faster, but the business card hanging from the aerial looks very effective. And finally there's Tine and yours faithfully, staunch members of the Laruso fanclub in France. Their new single ('Plain Paper Napkins') is out shortly - Si was shooting the video with the lads last week.
