Spot the Difference?

Same web cam - 24 hrs later......spot the difference.

Simon spoke to James yesterday - he'd been to check the house was ok.  Covered in snow but water tight - here at home, we're all wanting snow for Christmas.  This is the first time that I wish snow wasnt around..... how perverse life can be!!

Mont Dore - 17th December 09

This is from the web cam today - looks beautiful, but it means there is no work on La Maison........James lives at Montlucon and it's probably to bad for him to get to Naves.......  :(

Out little house is still waiting for its new roof :(((

Looking into my crystal ball . . . . .

I see two people, sitting in front of a fire.  It's a crisp and cold night outside, but inside is all snug and warm.  Mouthwatering cooking smells waft past their noses, exciting their appetite after a day of walking in the sparkling powdery snow.  They are sitting, peacefully, glass in hand, listening to the crackel of the fire and the gentle, comforting tick of the grandaughter clock in the corner.  Tomorrow, the families arrive.  Christmas is just around the corner and the house is decorated in readiness.

If we needed inspiration . . . . .

This is Mont Dore - just an hour from us......If ever I need a pick me up during the day, then looking at this will usually sort me out!

Christmas is coming and the news on the house is that the end gable wall is now complete, so tiling will begin soon.  The next photo's from James should be of the roof completed - Yeay !!

Maybe next Christmas the house will be far enough forward for us to stay there  :-)
