We worked for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week at Le Ramet doing all sorts of tasks
stripping shutters with a hot air gun, then filling, sanding and painting them
A finished shutter next to a yet to be started. Renovating the shutters has changed the way I look at all of those rustic shabby french houses, before I used to thing they were so romantic - now I look at the shutters and think all of those bastards need to be sanded.
I spent a lot of time in the potager, podding peas...
weeding
and making rainbows with the hose
Using the tractor to try and rip out a very stubborn fig.
There were so many animals at Le Ramet - 6 jack russels, 3 great danes, millions of cats, horses, donkeys, goats (not all in the house!)
Chinoise & Tigre
My sister and I used to watch a film called the ugly daschund, it was just like that at Le Ramet - hilarious
Daniel & Patricia our hosts/french teachers/chefs...
Gregg concocting a cognac, coffee and chocolate delight called a push push
I have never eaten so well as at Le Ramet, we were treated to delicious French fare every day - eaten in the particular french way
And another amazing help x experience draws to a close, the car is packed and we head off North
