Village au Franc: April 2006
http://villageaufranc.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 05, 2006. I don’t know, when I first started writing these web logs it was every day, now it’s once per month! This is what happens when the sun comes out and you don’t spend much time on the computer. Next day I was stricken with tummy ache. This lasted until I bought some Imodium plus at the airport on our way to Florida. Yes, Florida to stay with our friends Pete and Sue Bradley. Yipee. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Village au Franc: Where did that 6 years go ?
http://villageaufranc.blogspot.com/2012/10/where-did-that-6-years-go.html
Saturday, October 06, 2012. Where did that 6 years go? Yep, six years since my last post. Lots has happened here in sunny France; the renovation work is complete (well nearly), bought two more plots of land, dug a huge pond (now full of fish and ducks), planted an orchard (one apple this year (Bramley) which I made in to apple sauce). Started beekeeping. But, dear reader, the actual reason for resurrecting this blog is for you to follow my exploits as a novice beekeeper. So, hive bought, we now needed so...

Village au Franc: February 2006
http://villageaufranc.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Week 20th – 26th February. Well later on in the week that is. On Monday. Morning the wardrobe arrived. I have to say that the delivery company was first class and the wardrobe was packed extremely well. I would even recommend them. They dropped the wardrobe off on their way to Pisa in Italy. Shame they have to come back with the shelves and door keys! The weather closed in for the rest of the week. And it was cold with lots of snow. Stayed at home in front of the log fire.

Village au Franc: September 2013
http://villageaufranc.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 09, 2013. 2013 - Our first Honey. Dear Reader, if you remember, we ended the last blog with our four bee hives merged into two, in the hope that the combined colonies would survive the winter. We made shelters of roofing felt to protect the hives against the ravages of winter and held them together with strapping to stop any animals from knocking the hives over. Tasteful orange strapping keeps the deer and badgers away. Winter comes to Village au Franc. The Great Barrier Reef. Once Wint...

Village au Franc: June 2006
http://villageaufranc.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 05, 2006. We had a very relaxing holiday at the beginning of May (it seems like an age ago now) in Tenerife with Brian and Margaret. It started off the opposite of relaxing! We eventually left the car in the long stay car park at Stansted. Phew. The holiday was good fun, we played golf a couple of times, ate too much, drank too much and spent a lot of time recovering by laying in the sun by the swimming pool. We saw Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley (twice) but that is another story. After ten ...

Village au Franc: May 2006
http://villageaufranc.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 17, 2006. Wednesday 17th May 2006. Normally, dear reader, you would have to wait until the end of the month for the next installment of the Blom diaries, but this has been a special day and deserves a web log just for itself. Don’t fret, there will be another one later with tales of our holiday in Tenerife et al. Anyway, let me tell you about today because it has been a very BAD DAY. If the bath is not cracked then I need a plumber brave enough to find the underside of the taps! Then the w...

http://villageaufranc.blogspot.com/2006/05/april-2006-garden-garden-is-looking.html
Monday, May 01, 2006. The garden is looking, even if I say so myself, very nice indeed. The combination of sun and rain is making the grass grow at a rate of knots and it needs mowing more than once a week. However, as I am boss here, it only gets mowed on Fridays. Renovation of The Barn. Agreed a start date with the builder – June 5th. Lets hope the Bank stumps up the money in time. Proof, if proof were needed, That VaF is back to being a building site. New friends / Golf partners. Top field / horse.

Village au Franc: January 2006
http://villageaufranc.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2006. Week 23rd - 29th January 2006. Happiness is a full oil tank. Unfortunately this photo was taken in November.it's now nearly empty. Oh well. Was the day that the wardrobe was to arrive from England. We got a phone call from Morley Green over the weekend to say that the other part of his load destined for France had not turned up and he did not want to bring over the wardrobe on its own. Should be delivered in about 10 days.Watch this space. Ceiling finished, hooray! A letter from...
