We arrived yesterday in a slightly damp Charente-Maritime region of France for a week’s knitting on the French Treats holiday at Le Vieux Monastere. I am Fiona’s little helper for the week.

I am not sure which order the photos are going to come out (oh the technology!) but there will be (in some order) the view from the front of our cottage, the view from the back of our cottage, and some of our knitting workshop this morning. This morning we started with patchwork knitting, which we shall continue tomorrow. This afternoon we are going for a visit to a local chateau. Hopefully the rain will let up a bit!
