I'm BAAAACK!

Yes, I know, June the 4th was the last entry in this boringly silly blog of mine.  We departed Portugal after spending 6 beautiful weeks in the condo at Sao Rafael just west of Albufiera.  A glorious place indeed!  We left by another route north of Albufiera and entered Spain passing many hill towns and medieval castles along the way.  No snow this time, just sunny and cool diagonally through Spain towards Andorra and in the distance not too far, our lovely France.

Once home in Lignieres, we settled in for the balance of our summer's stay.  Much weeding of the courtyard and we were forced by the Lilac Tree of ancient age falling over, it's heart of rot gave up the ghost.  I cut it up for the most fragrant stove wood I've ever had.  Minor repairs here and there and the typical day trips to places we've not yet been, some VERY close to Lignieres but somehow hidden and missed.

The Kats, Mucca and Cara, had a ball running around Maison Blanche,  Cara caught a couple of wayward mice but pickings were few and far between.

We never did contact our Electrician so that work remained unfinished.

We LOST our car registration form which meant we couldn't get the car inspected until it was replaced.  I enlisted the help of an online service that issues replacement auto paperwork but that had not come by the time we departed for California in mid-August,  so we will have to take that up when we return. eh!

Bye for now, I'll be trying to blog more, we'll see how I do. Here are a few pictures of Summertime 

France for you.
