Le Couvent Diary

There have been many wonderful short courses run by our pals, Nicola & Teddy, over the road in La Maison Sans Fiche but I've never been able to go to any of them since they've always coincided with our work-period. Until now that is. So today, tomorrow and Wednesday I'm chipping away, along with four other learners, in the Spring sunshine.

And what a complete joy it is to concentrate on nothing but the stone/wood and the tools. No-one dare let their minds drift, for fear of chipping off a vital part or feature.

I'm joined by Erzsi, Jenny, Michel and Christina. We fumble along together in a German, French, English, Hungarian kind of a way. And everyone is understood.

It all ends with a fab lunch. What a wonderful way to spend a few mornings.

Any ideas what mine is going to be?
