We had some very welcome rain this week and that combined with the sunshine is proving wonderful for the meadows. As we are an organic farm they are full of wild flowers and insects and we are hopeful for a good hay crop later in the year. The view from the rear terrace across to the pond is always a delight.

Being blessed with fabulous weather has been wonderful during the present situation. We spend the days outside busy gardening; weeding, pruning and planting. We now need some rain as although we always plant drought resistant plants they do need moisture when they are young and settling in. Fortunately we have a huge pile of mulch.

March seems to be going out with a cold snap. After really warm sunshine we’re having a fortunately short spell of frost and colder winds. It is still beautiful however and the countryside is alive with birdsong.

We are enjoying the most glorious weather and after a day working outside take time to listen to the sounds of the country while sipping an ‘apéritif ‘. Last evening we once again heard the woodpecker, a regular visitor, drumming away on a nearby tree. A perfect end to a lovely day.

Health is very much the topic of the moment. Fortunately all is very calm and tranquil in our beautiful part of the Dordogne. With the onset of Spring and the lengthening days most of our time is now spent outdoors in the sun and fresh air. Hopefully the virus will weaken and all our guests will feel confident to travel and enjoy a restful vacation.

The work in the square has been going apace and transforming our already beautiful and historic village into a truly medieval bastide town. It has been fascinating to see how it has taken just a few additions and props to give Monpazier a very convincing ambience.

There is great excitement in Monpazier as they prepare for the filming of scenes for the film The Last Duel. Some of the lucky local residents have been auditioned and are able to join in as extras so the village is buzzing. The cafes are doing a roaring trade so everyone is feeling very positive.

Road closures come as a mixed blessing! They add miles to the route but then they do take you along new byways where you come across hidden gems tucked quietly away in the countryside. The wealth and variety of buildings in the Dordogne is wonderful and I always experiencing a new delight.
