Stephen & Madeleine Kear's Holiday Gites In France

After Stephen's exhausting years and demanding schedules as a violinist in the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra we left it all behind us to run idyllic gites in the Gartempe Valley, La Vienne, France.

Not much happening


While I went off to spend the day teaching Stephen tackled the wet plasterboard which had to be removed after damage caused by a burst pipe. The pipe had already been repaired by the plumber but the ceiling needed replacing which brought back memories from near two years ago when we put it up in the first place. Luckily the Grange isn’t too wet and hasn’t seemed to have suffered much water damage from the catastrophic recent cold weather.

We managed a walk just before the sun set which was between 6.30 and 7pm. How nice it is to feel that the days are drawing out. Avalanche chased a pair of quails. We live in hope of her bringing something back each time we take her out having profited from her capture of a magnificent male pheasant.
