Nous sommes arrivees!

Just a quick mass e-mail to let you know we arrived safely - literally about 1/2 hour ago (close to 11pm having left Miami at 8 yesterday) - in that time we've managed to uncork a bottle (I'd forgotten I'd left 2 wine glasses carefully wrapped with a bottle of 2002 St Emilion Grand Cru and a bottle opener handy!) and check the tractor - still haven't figured out if I left the bed sheets in a handy location - but there's more than 1 bottle so we may soon not care!  We're both absolutely knackered but we're in 1 piece - luggage accompanied us the whole way and we're in the French countryside - which became apparent for the last 45 mins of our journey where we passed through villages that looked abandonned - given it was after 10 o'clock at night on a Monday but there were no cars to be seen and not even any lights on in any houses - we're definately in rural France - the silence is deafening! :)

Photos of Tony with a glass of wine next to his tractor attached - more to come once he's had a play tomorrow!

We also arrived to a package from my little sis with copious quantities of seeds so I shall be busy getting the seedlings started so we can get planting properly soon - will update on the progress as we manage to successfully bring things to life! :)
