Final coat of facade was done this morning with three of them at it this time. It's lovely. And finished two days early - wow!
Just as well because the fête is already sprouting up on the place. A churros stall is there selling extruded batter fritters (I confess to rather liking these!) and attractions of a fairground nature are massing for the attack on the outskirts of the village.
We have our terrace back properly now, if only for the last few days. There is the dilemma of what to do with the oleanders. Poor things, they responded so well to love and attention and are now just about to burst into flower. Which, of course, we won't see!
