It's not just Art courses and letting a Gîte.

I've said before that we are now, Nikkie and I, just about completly 'Texatelier', but that doesn't just mean the business of running facilities that provide income: Arts classes, English teaching, the gîte etc - it's the way of life.
We farm, we harvest, we process foods, we sell we exchange; they're not inseperable or lesser parts of the whole that is 'Texatelier'
Here's some images that put that reality into a context of a 'vie paysanne', and consider them a precursor for the first of a series of little films coming soon.

One medium 'Biche',

One rainy afternoon,

Two people,

20Kg top quality venison

The day after 4 cubic m of fire wood to cut down for the stove

more wood in the Wood to fell and trim for seasoning for next year

And that's all for this last weekend!
