Summer at Chenevaux - blue skies, sunshine, come and have a dip in the pool .......
At last, blue skies, sunshine and summer temperatures, in fact the forecast is for 32C today! Jam making season has started with mixed red fruit ( raspberries, redcurrants, cherries and blackcurrants ) and apricot already done. The early plums are starting to drop too so that's next on the list before the birds eat them all. Oh - and a yummy summer pudding the other day made with brioche and with a dollop of creme fraiche. Food glorious food !

| Summer guests are enjoying their holiday in the Gite |
The holiday season is in full swing and guests are enjoying the pool, golf, croquet, table tennis and their own badminton set. Today they are at Futuroscope near Poitiers - a full day out as there is a firework display at nightfall.
We've just got two weeks available in the Gite between now and the end of September, weeks commencing 20th and 27th August - get in touch with us if you are interested

The Farmhouse back garden has lots of colour, love these hollyhocks!
And the crocosmia.
Its a bit jungly but the overall effect is "impressionistic".
The wisteria along the front of the Farmhouse is flowering for the second time, and the scent is gorgeous. And the roses are putting on a great show after being spoilt by days of rain earlier in the year.

Anyway, its nearly time for the men's final at Wimbledon so I am going to turn on the telly, sit in my reclining armchair and clap ( hopefully ). I wonder if we will spot any friends in the crowd?
