Just a few photos to show you that we are enjoying a wonderfully warm spell, eating our lunch outside each day but still enjoying the log fire in the evening when the temperature drops quite swiftly..
Mimosa trees are everywhere in La Tranche and their scent is heavenly. Our neighbour gave Tine some to put in a vase for us to enjoy inside as well. Our first La Tranche daffodil comes next, followed by catkins at the front of the house and (we think) plum-tree blossom at the back.

After working in the garden yesterday we cycled to 'our' beach and were staggered by the number of people walking along the sand. It was almost like a seaside Lowry. Most people were wrapped up in jackets but we're hard, we were in t-shirts! It's half term here this week too. In France schools are 'zoned' so that 1/3 started their holiday last Friday, 1/3 next Friday and the rest the Friday after. Not a bad idea for the tourist industry and the roads!

In town there's a sense that people are preparing for the season, shop doors open with sounds of work going on. It's great to have La Tranche to ourselves, but it will be good to share it with others before too long!

So there's La Tranche -les - Mimosas as well. Lovely pictures again. You're not alone with the daffs - some were sighted in sunny Lancashire last week!
