Our return to "au pont", our French Country Getaway

After 4.5 months in Australia, we arrived back last week, to be greeted by brisk frostie mornings where the air is so clean that you feel invigorated for the whole day. Mais oui, it gets better... as the day opens up the the warm rays of sunshine bring the Spring flowers to life. So, when are you visiting us?
