Sunshine in the Gers



Don't panic! Even with no roof and hardly any walls, this house is still beautiful when the sun shines it's dappled light through the trees.

French farmhouse renovation



The house is fast disappearing before our eyes. I thought builders were so called because they built things. Am I missing something here? Yes! I am missing a roof, and the walls seem to be getting smaller too. What have we done?

3D Mosaics near Barrusclet



Love these 3 dimensional shapes. Some of the designs here at Seviac are stunning. It is also really peaceful, and just a lovely place to wander. You can feel the history. Has anyone seen my toga? The site is quite a recent discovery and there is still more to uncover.

Roman villa at Seviac

Time to take some time out and visit some of the local villages and places of interest.
The Roman Villa at Seviac has some gorgeous well preserved mosaics. It is only 5 minutes in the car. The Romans knew how to choose a lovely spot to build. I can see why they didn't stay too long on the Welsh borders. Lovely and warm here for taking an outdoor plunge in the baths.
