And now the House: The Kitchen is in
http://andnowthehouse.blogspot.com/2010/05/kitchen-is-in.html
And now the House. Monday, May 10, 2010. The Kitchen is in. Started to write this in April. Forgot to post it.). The kitchen is in, looking sleek and modern against our off-white freshly painted walls and the beautifully laid floor tiles. Cupboards with shelves that slide out, either side of the big fridge freezer. At last I shall know what we've got in store without having to scrabble at the back of the top shelf while balancing on a ladder. In French. I've no idea what it is in English. We have finishe...

And now the House: Floor Plans
http://andnowthehouse.blogspot.com/2009/12/floor-plans.html
And now the House. Monday, December 28, 2009. Lynne, who dips into this blog from time to time, asked if I could do a simple floor plan. Certainly the house layout is confusing and even living here it took us time to work out how all the rooms fitted together. This is what the house looks like at present, put together over years from an old farmhouse and outside barns. People who know us park in front of the garage, walk past the bedroom, come along the terrace and into the kitchen. A third stage will en...

French Roundabouts: Memorial
http://frenchroundabouts-suej.blogspot.com/2009/11/memorial.html
Miniature works of municipal art. November 22, 2009. Location: Lot and Garonne, Marmande, D933, junction with D708. The D933 is now a smart new by-pass round the outskirts of Marmande, heading north towards Périgueux and Bergerac and South to Mount de Marsan. The recent construction has been an opportunity to build and design new roundabouts. One of the most dramatic, on the crossroads with the D708 that leads into Marmande town centre, is topped by this powerful sculpture in memory of the holocaust.

French Roundabouts: November 2009
http://frenchroundabouts-suej.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Miniature works of municipal art. November 22, 2009. Les Vignobles de Marmande. Location: Lot and Garonne, on the Bordeaux side of Marmande, junction of the D933 with the D813. At the junction of the Mont de Marsan to Périgueux road (the new D933) and the Agen road (the D813) on the edge of Marmande, there is an imposing roundabout suitable for the entrance to a town that is proud of its wines. In the autumn the leaves on the vines have a golden hue, and the evergreens form an elegant backdrop. From some...

French Roundabouts: Strange "Spider"
http://frenchroundabouts-suej.blogspot.com/2009/10/strange-spider.html
Miniature works of municipal art. October 18, 2009. Location: Landes, D824, entrance to Dax ring road coming from Mont de Marsan. It isn't a spider, because it only has six legs. And what are the three phallic symbols in the middle all about? And I thought the red "D" with the swirl might be the logo for Dax, but it doesn't seem to be. Then round the other side of the roundabout there are about a dozen painted posts. All to be found on the ring road as you approach Dax from Mont de Marsan in the Landes.
