Back on the horse.

Just to document activity at St. Gilles
So the men are in putting a new false wall in room 4- to improve the insulation and start our moves to change the room. The other is to fill a whole in the wall following the removal of the old hot water tank. However, the insulation was of poor quality and so is being replaced fully.
Let’s hope it is worth it in terms of added comfort and lower power bills
EQ and I went back on a train trip. We saw the tapestry and enjoyed an orgaised tour of Omaha beach landing. Very well done and informative.
A couple of weeks ago now- late again. But EQ’s first visit to the world renowned capital, with a contribution from mum.
Friday evening was one of those classic(cheesy?) boat trips on the Seine. But good fun and added entertainment of disagreements amongst the staff!
Looking at spending more money- really need to put gutters up on th back the house to deal with water underneath I think. But….££
We parked up by the lake again and this time walked to L’abbaye de bon repos and back. The terrain was no easier overall. A energetic 12Km.
