Here we are having breakfast
We are extremely fortunate in a number of ways.
For a start, we are staying with Chantal et Christian about 25km from where the boat is stored. They are providing 5 star service in a whole lot of ways. The house is great, the service is wonderful, the food is magnificient and they have already provided lots of very useful advice.
Their Chambre d'Hote is calles "Les Chouettes" (the owls) because Chantal is very keen on owls (perhaps that is an understatement). There are statues and sculptures of owls everywhere.
Also, the weather has been wonderful from the day we arrived. We have 30% of the roof removed from the boat and we could not do this if the weather was lousy (which it was until our arrival). They say we brought Aussie weather with us. Most days range from 8 to 24degC but we had one of 32degC when we were on the roof paint stripping and sanding.
More on the roof later. Here we are at breakfast yesterday morning. Every moring, our hosts select special food for us to eat and there is carefully chosen music to accompany our repast. There is also a beautifully presented placard welcoming us, with the Australian and Charbuy crests, weather forecast and latest Australian news. Also a description of the music that will accompany the home made jams, cafe, special tarts etc.
