They're back, the monsters!  

This time eating up all the corn around our house. 

Let me tell you the Misses will not be happy about that as I heard her saying that she needed some cornflour and I know that is what should happen to the corn the farmers are growing around here.  Now it's too late, all eaten by the monsters.........

My history lesson......

I have just returned home from a whole day out in the poppymobile with the Guv and Misses. The first stop we made was in a village named "Montguyon" and we stopped to have a look at this castle.

The Guv said it was first built in 1082, then rebuilt by the English in the 13th century.  Later in 1451 Charles VI chased the English out in a battle.  I was told also Henry IV & Louis XIII stayed there, must have been a bit chilly for them as most of the windows have been knocked out !

He nailed 'em

The Guv's been "at it" in the family room, by that I mean he has been 

hammering nails in the wall to hang the family photographs.  The problem is there is one very important person missing......ME !

Village people...

Nice ride in the poppymobile today for my people to go shopping, on the way we also had a look around some of the villages near where I live.  This is Chilac.

Thought I'd better let the Misses have her photo as well....

It's finished

The Guv has at last finished the rainroom and what an international rainroom I now have!  New tiles and toilet from France, washbasin, stand and cupboard from Greece and the bath from the UK....with a new window, as the old bathroom had no ventilation or window I think he did a reasonable job.....(well for a grocer anyway)

Now how am I going to get in that bath?  mmmmm lets see if I can push this stool a bit nearer to help me !

Yeh,yeh we're out !

It was up early for the morning walk and then off to Angouleme this morning for the Guv & Misses, and I was allowed to go as well.  As I understand it the Guv had to get a new French nameplate for the "Rover" and as he appeared to be quite happy I think all went well.  Now I have heard of the "Irish Rover" 

An Irish Rover 

(Click the red link directly above to see what I mean)

but I've never heard of the "French Rover"

Nowhere to go...

Well it's been a boring two days, apart from my early morning walk around the locality and a trip in the poppymobile to get the humans a bread stick I've been NOWHERE!

The Guv has been busy STILL building the rainroom and a few other things around my pad.  Hopefully tomorrow will be different.....

It's a Cyclops......

The other day I wrote about monsters, today its Cyclops!  Yes the Guv is at it again and I had to keep watch on what he was up to.  It appears the eyes of the Rover (don't know why he calls his car by a dogs name) needed replacing now we are in France.  As I understand it apparently the Rover's new eyes will now, at a flick of a switch, become cross eyed to the right.  Still don't know why the Guv had to take all it's nose off before he could pull it's eyes out though! 

Pride of place....

Some time back you may recall I showed you a painting the Guv had a lady in Greece paint of me on a roof tile.  We believe the tile, that came from a tumbled down church is well over 100 years old  (that's even older than the Guv!).  Well it's been given pride of place on the fireplace in my new home in France. 

It's a monster !

There I was minding my own business, sitting quietly in the garden (well actually I was watching a rather cute spaniel opposite), and this MONSTER appeared right up against my garden fence.  I had to immediately go and sort it out and let my people know it was eating all the sunflowers and spitting out the stalks from it's rear end!
