Si Bella

10 years old and still looking good.  In spite of having been ravaged by rubber eating rats over the winter, Bella passed her contrôle technique today with flying colours.  In France that means we are good for another two years.  N and I are still recovering from the exertions of the last few weeks, but we got stuck into gardening and preparing our guest accommodation for visitors who arrive tomorrow.  After lunch the French air force decided to loop around the skies above us, not low enough to give an air display, but  enough to give interesting exhaust patterns between the clouds (see extra pic)
