Community Spirit

It’s been a very strange week and one which has made me really think about what I am thankful for.  
Coincidentally it was Thanksgiving in America!
We love living in the community of Olonzac and this week we saw how a community like this pulls together when someone needs their help.  A friend lost her partner suddenly in a car accident and there has been no question about everyone wanting to do whatever they can to make her life a little easier in the lead up to Christmas.

It’s made my heart sing...a reminder of human nature at it’s best!  Instead of words I thought I would share some photos that have made me smile this week...

Our very own grapevine...
just had a hard prune today but hopefully
 it will come back bigger and better next summer!
Reminded of one of the roses in our courtyard...
during the pruning...
Our kitchen window...LOVE the smell of fresh basil...

We found two lots of pears on the tables in our courtyard
when we got home one day and discovered later
they were from a neighbour :-)








Sainte-Hélène Chambres d'hôtes, Olonzac
Regis, the friendly cheese man at the market who makes us laugh every week!
Hope you all see something that makes you smile this week...
