2009-09-30 Painting and Decorating

Stating my new hobby of glass painting, this is a panel for the guest bedroom loo.....its a picture of morels........a few of our guests have them!
For those who haven't visited this year, the loo is now facing a new direction, this is half way through decorating.

painting, note the croc type shoes which have remained glued to my feet since i bought them in Honiton!

2009-09-20 Mushrooms & La maison Baker !

This is the mushroom i have been looking for, its Chicken of the woods, supposed to have the taste and texture of chicken, well after the first taste i think it has the texture of chicken, but i cant remember the taste.....anyway i would recommend this mushroom, as its so big this was at least 1kg and it wasn't alone....also freezes well just as it is.
OK Karl have you recognised your tree yet???

What a lot of mushroom, not 'much room' for more.........groan.

Chez Karl...........see it's OK !

2009-09-07 On top of the world !!

We took a picnic to the lake at the top of our mountain, and finally found the place where the para-gliders take off from, talk about the top of the world........Ann and i wisely stayed in the 4x4 !

La valley de Jaur...........

2009-09-04 Ann's visit...lavander fever !!

Yet another bergerie we happened upon in the forest, i think someone might be restoring this one.
I know i've got this in the wrong order, bear with me i'm old....
This is Ann Dave's sister, she cut all the lavander the first day she was with us and spent the week clinging to a kleneex box as she had hay fever for the rest of the time........

this was after she finished.......not Tai chi !

this is just after she began...............

this is at the start........
