In 2004 Teresa and Bob Harris arrived with their daughter Gabby.  They fell in love with the house at the viewpoint at Chez Blet, especially its marvellous views over the Vienne river and the surrounding countryside.  Needless to say they quickly named it Viewpoint House.  It is the house on the right just when you reach the top of the hill leaving Availles Limouzine in the direction of L'Isle Jourdain. They have renovated the house turning it into a confortable family house and a Chambre d'Hotes run by Teresa.  Bob has a garden maintenance business.

Milk deliveries have finished many years ago, but Availles Limouzine and the surrounding area has an egg and honey home delivery service run by Guillaume and Nathalie Van Beers.

They live at Chez Blet on the left going from Availles towards L'Isle Jourdain, just at the top of the hill leaving the river valley, opposite Viewpoint house. Their farm is small by Agribusiness standards but they have developed a "red label" egg business which can compete on quality with the larger enterprises.

It's not spring but a sign that the year is beginning to re-awake after the slumber of winter.  Today I heard the sound of hundreds of cranes circling over our house in the migration north. After, what seemed like an animated debate they re-assembled and flew north in a perfect V formation.

It is only six weeks since they went south and here they are on their way north again. Soon other signs of spring or at least the end of winter will appear with the emergence of the daffodils. And next week we are forecast cold and perhaps snow!

The speciality of the orchestra of the Champs Elysées is the playing of period music with period instruments.  What is the difference between a violin of 1750 and that of today?

The Saturday walk is normally 13 to 18km.
