A far cry from peasant farming in France!

A friend of ours has just bought something wonderful!  It can’t really be classed as his new toy - it’s a 44 foot Lagoon catamaran with 3 ensuite double berths, kitchen, living room (all with a/c!) and an enormous amount of deck space and Tony and I were fortunate enough to enjoy a day on it yesterday - photos below....

As you all know, we miss our home in France very much but days like yesterday really do help to ease the sadness! :)

As for our farming adventures, we’ve started composting (results soon come in this heat I would imagine) and we’ve got cucumbers, tomatoes, okra, aubergine, rosemary and basil growing well in the planters Tony built a while ago (they’re all up but not yet fruiting with the exception of the aubergines so photos of our bounty to follow but a small crop of our aubergines pictured below on the bbq).

Hoping this finds you all well - we’re still in rainy/hurricane season here but so far no hurricanes just plenty of rain periodically for which our vegetables are very grateful.  Although with all the rain we’ve had lately, we must be diligent as they’ve just passed a new law out here and if you now splash a pedestrian by driving through a puddle you can get fined up to $500!

Happy week ahead - with love the ‘pretend farmers’ that weren’t pretending to do anything except experience how the other half live yesterday!
