We have decided that this bathroom will have a WC and shower in it. At the moment, the way the door has been placed (right in the middle of the 1.8 metre wall) means that a shower unit would not fit.
This means demolishing (that word again!) the wall, removing the bath and handbasin, replacing the floor (this time with water resistant particle board), installing the shower unit and WC and then building a new wall.
So far we have demolished the wall, which was made of very thin bricks. This photo looks weird, because you can see where the staircase should be.
Yesterday's post about the Parc Floral should have been posted today, so here are the photos Susan didn't have to hand when she wrote it.
You should have guessed............we can't type fast enough to do two posts a day!
We are lucky enough to have as near neighbours in Preuilly J-P and Anne. J-P is the recently retired Director of the Parc floral de Paris, a large garden laid out in the grounds of the Château de Vincennes on the south-eastern outskirts of Paris. As they were going to be in Paris at the same time as us, and, we hoped, at the same time as the irises were blooming, we arranged to meet for a special guided tour.
We set of from our hotel in the 19th, and two correspondences (Métro line changes) and half an hour later were at the end of the line (Château de Vincennes). A 10 minute walk past the château itself on one side and the army barracks on the other and we were at the main gate of the Parc. After some minutes, the current Director, also J-P, came rushing out to say that his predecessor was held up in traffic. J-P 'jnr' escorted us into the Parc and gave us some background to its establishment and arrangement.
It was created in 1969 as the principal venue for the 3rd International Flower Show and covers an area of 28 ha. J-P 'jnr' explained that the design of the Parc morphs from natural landscape with native vegetation to wooded parkland and then gradually becomes more and more a garden, with shrubberies and flower beds as you move further into the Parc. Until recently, there was a 1€ entrance fee, but this has now been waived. There is some concern that people may not be valuing what they don't have to pay for, leading to the plants not being respected and barbeques and ball games taking over. I must say we did not witness any of this unruly behaviour, but we did go there on a day when hundreds of slightly subdued 19 year olds were taking their Polytechnique exams in the Exhibition Hall.
The very first tree we encountered was a tall slender thing dressed in salmon pink for the spring. It turned out to be a Toona, so related to Australian Red Cedar Toona ciliata. As we were discussing this, J-P 'snr' and Anne arrived and J-P 'jnr' rushed off to do important garden director things. We mooched slowly through the trees to the scented garden, with the lilacs providing the skeleton for an array of smaller plants. Just beyond this is the vegetable garden - not much happening here as it is too early, but the rainbow chard was looking lush. A couple of the staff were photographing a small lily and J-P 'snr' took some time out to chat to them, as he did with all the staff we met.
This area also had a prominently placed Insect Hotel, with plenty of occupants, mostly Red Mason Bee Osmia rufa, and a large pollarded Mulberry tree - not the sort that gives edible fruit, but the sort that the Silkworm Bombyx mori eats.
Then we looked out over the Valley of Flowers, a great mound of bedding plants set in a natural hollow so that the display is seen to best advantage. Unfortunately, this was in the middle of its late spring change over, so we didn't linger. The current Head Gardener, who is responsible for this area, is a designer, not a plantsman, so I imagine the Valley of Flowers is really something when planted up. However, because he is not a plantsman, he apparently is prone to taking plants from other areas of the garden if they suit his design, no matter their rarity or value in the collection. Under J-P 'snr's 20 year tenure, this was a serious collecting garden, focusing on azaleas, peonies, geraniums, ferns, irises and probably other families or genera that I missed.
A diversion through a greenhouse with palms, coffee and a Silky Oak Grevillea robusta, which caused some excitement, because it is native to the area my parents live in Australia, where it is widely used as a street tree, and as a much prized wood for making furniture.
On to the azaleas, set amongst many varieties of magnolias, acers, pine and other trees. They are seriously poke yer eye out bright and clashing - a marvellous display. The soil is rather chalky so not really suitable for azaleas, so many tonnes of suitably acidic soil and compost has been brought in to ensure the azaleas thrive, and every year the soil is replenished to keep them healthy.
We had just emerged from the azaleas when Simon tripped on a tree root and one of the lenses in his glasses fell out and smashed! He gamely spent the rest of the day spectacle free, and continued to take photos!! Bet you can't pick which are before and which are after!
After picking up the pieces of shattered lens, we continued through an area planted in randomly shaped beds divided by wide smoothly curving grass paths, so that people could meander or lounge in amongst the plants. Anne proudly told us that this was one of J-P 'snr's innovations, in the English style. People were certainly using the area as intended, lying on the grass and relaxing (a naughty pleasure in Paris, as anyone who has been whistled at by a gardener or gendarme will know). Then there were some raised beds of tulips, just past their best, but in a wide range of tulip colours and forms. This led to some discussion about the Keukenhof gardens in Amsterdam, which my parents had been to see only a few days before. These amazing gardens are totally dedicated to spring bulbs and are only open while they are at their most beautiful. And this time it was J-P who pointed out another of his innovations - a portable rack for carrying and drying the tulip bulbs once lifted. Rather like a stretcher and apparently quite comfy if you felt a bit tired and could convince your colleagues to carry you back to the potting shed on it. The tulip beds were also being repaired as the bulbs were lifted. J-P commented that it is no longer affordable to create the raised beds using oak retainers, so the replacements are pine, which does not last so long - a bit of a Catch-22 - there is always a compromise to be made on one side in the triangular ratio of time:money:quality, as our blogger friend Henri very sagely pointed out to us once.
Beyond the tulips, which Simon really liked, were beds of tree peonies. Wow!! Enormous flowers and delicate scent, and being worked over by a variety of insects. The metallic green Rose Chafers Cetonia aurata really liked them, whilst the little brown fuzzball bee flies Bombylius major stuck to the Ajuga growing below.
And then it was lunch time, in the restaurant, which as Anne says, is un bon rapport qualité/prix.
Then it was through the cactus and desert plants greenhouse. J-P pointed out one cactus, about the size and shape of a basket ball with thick yellow spines. It's name in French is la chaise de la belle-mère (mother-in-law's chair).
After that a greenhouse with some mur vegetal (vertical gardens) by the innovative garden designer Patrick Blanc. I have wanted to see his work since I 'discovered' him recently, but I didn't realise that the Parc floral had any until we stepped into this greenhouse. Anne pointed out to me that you need to live somewhere where the electricity supply is extremely reliable, as if the pump circulating the water through the felty stuff the plants grow out of on the wall fails then the plants die very quickly. The felt substrate was clearly visible here, and you could see the little pockets the plants sit in, which actually made it all the more interesting. I think perhaps the plants had not having achieved full growth for the season and will cover more later. They certainly looked healthy though, and some of the anthirriums were flowering in scarlet 'leather'. In this greenhouse there was also a display of very stylish, modern flower arrangements by a local florist.
On from there to the very impressive Bonsai display. There was a security guard here, as there has been a problem in the past with valuable Bonsai plants being stolen by visitors who apparently just walked out with them. Some of the Bonsai had not made it through the winter, but they were still beautiful just as bare stems.
Close by there is a bank of irises, which is what I had really come to see, but sod's law - they were not out yet. J-P 'snr' had been worried that if we came in late May they would be finished, so we visited early May, but because of the cold wet April, the irises were flowering late this year.
This was J-P 'snr's first visit back to the park since he retired and he clearly found it difficult a couple of times when things were being done differently to how he would have approached it. The Parc is really his lifetime's work, and to give up this sort of vocational role is always a wrench. From the visitors' point of view, of course, very few of them will be serious plantsmen, and will come for the peaceful and beautiful surroundings. The bones of the garden will always remain - the tall pines, the mixture of shaded nooks and crannies and the open areas of lawn and the spectacular floral displays, so I think that those who know the Parc will continue to love it.
And by now I guess you are all getting really concerned about how poor blind as a bat Simon is faring? Well, J-P 'snr' very kindly took us to the local optometrist and they very kindly tested Simon's eyes and made a new pair of lenses which we went and collected the next morning, just in time for him to drive us all round one quarter of the péripherique and on to Preuilly. In a way, it was a blessing in disguise - he really needed new glasses, as his prescription had changed a lot. He adapted to the new glasses very quickly (just as well, or it would have been me driving the péri - eek!) and we are very impressed with French oculistes.
I encounter pain d'épices (spice bread) at most fairs in the Touraine. It is not actually a bread, but a spicy cake sweetened with honey and often containing nut meal. It is popular for breakfast, dipped into hot chocolate or coffee, or with a between meal cuppa. In our area, the locals consider the best pain d'épices is made with miel de sarrasin. Normally I am not a fan of cooking with honey, but there is no question that miel de sarrasin's very strong flavour combines perfectly with the nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger spices and toasted hazelnut meal that I used, resulting in a very distinctive taste that seems to me to be very northern European. Usually pain d'épices contains anise, but I omitted it as neither Simon nor I are huge fans of the taste, and the recipe could also include coriander, cumin or cardamom.
The ingredients for pain d'épices.
I chose to make little individual cakes rather than a loaf. Mine are somewhat more rough hewn than the ones I see at the markets, where, if there are individual cakes on display, they are perfectly moulded little hearts in cellophane packets of three.
Certain people (you know who you are) have commented that they have never seen my photo on the blog.
In addition to the cobbles in the back garden, we have a mystery concrete pad that stretches about half the length of the house and which is right up against the wall. The well is incorporated into this.
Concrete against the wall of a limestone house is not the best of ideas - it traps the water in the stone, and can dissolve it away. This is why we have always planned to remove it if we can. As I had my wrecking tools out for removing the cobbles, I decided to have a crack at the concrete too.
My tools for breaking stuff.
As mentioned before, I used the same tools for shifting the cobbles in the back garden. Here they are in use: and here is the carved stone that was face down and being used as a cobble. I don't know which church it was stolen from, but I assume it was the same church our window lintel came from.

In a statement given to the publication, a spokesperson for Westpac said the bank “did not continue our contract with Prospa because we are working on developing our own products that will satisfy more of our customers’ needs.” Reports noted that the decision signals heightened competition between banks and alternative lenders in the small business lending market as traditional lenders ramp up efforts to digitize and retain customers.
Westpac and Prospa first partnered in 2015 for their referral program. The bank did not reveal how many business borrowers it referred to Prospa under their agreement.
The financial institution did not mention news of Prospa’s IPO delay, announced just minutes before the company was scheduled to float on the Australian Securities Exchange, following criticism from regulators over its interest rates. The Australian Securities and Investment Commission is investigating Prospa as part of its overarching probe of the small business financial services market.
However, Westpac is not the only traditional lender to nix a partnership with a FinTech.
Reports in AFR pointed to the Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s (CBA) decision to end its referral arrangement with another marketplace lending platform, OnDeck, instead focusing on its own small business loan product offering.

Born in Shettleston in Glasgow, he worked as a Post Office engineer until war service in the Royal Navy, after which he became a Customs Officer in Ireland and on the West Coast of Scotland.
Inspired by Italian metal sculpture, he attended welding classes at Royal Technical College (now University of Strathclyde), and studied part-time at GSA .
Becoming a full-time artist in 1979, he specialised in mixed media, kinetic, installation and performance art, and developed a distinctive form of "Social Scul?ture", humorously exploring Joseph Beuy's assertion that "all art is questionable" (Nisbet, in McKenzie (1999) ).
Exhibiting regularly throughout the UK since the 1960's, his work is represented in major public and private collections including, GMAG , University of Stirling and the Scottish Arts Council.
His contributions to Glasgow's Mayfest include Just In Case, Glasgow Cross (1995), and the Straw Locomotive (1987).
For the 1988 Glasgow Garden Festival he produced Arrivals and Sailings.
An artist of international stature, his Gulbenkian Prize-winning Paper Boat sailed down the Clyde, Sheldt and Hudson rivers in 1990. Scotland on Sunday newspaper now gives "Paper Boat Awards" to artists producing work of distinction.
One of his ventures, a giant Crystal Ship (2000), was proposed as a permanent feature of the rejuvenated Govan dry dock, but sadly never materialised.
Based in Gourock since 1959, he was also a painter, musician and song writer, and donated his collected works to the University of Strathclyde, which includes his famous colossal safety pin Monument to Maternity on the site of the Rottenrow Maternity Hospital on the university campus.
To mark his 90th birthday, the university's Collins Gallery mounted a retrospective of George's life and work, George Wyllie A Life Less Ordinary (10 March - 21 April 2012), as part of a wider celebration of his career held throughout the city: The Whysman Festival.
It was during these events that George passed away, and it was fitting that his exit from the Scottish art scene should have occurred with such a blaze of glory and recognition that these festivals provided in celebrating him as Scotland's best loved sculptor.
Just over 10 years ago we held our first BrainJam in SF under the banner of the Web 2point1 Unconference. There were a lot of reasons for that, some very specific to the time, but mostly related to my desire to inspire others to self-organize to build communities, to create a positive change in the world and to live their life’s purpose. To prove that we don’t need a lot of money or ‘power’, to make a difference, just inspiration to take action, together. In fact, then, as now, I believed that We Are the Solution. Our power is inherent inside us all, so when we connect and help each other, our power grows exponentially.
You may know that BrainJams became Social Media Club, and 9 years ago we held one of our first events in London on our way to reaching 350 cities around the world and millions of people. It’s time to do it again, to learn from our past lessons, and stay more focused on our core purpose. How we can do anything when we work together, so let’s create a space where we can come together to collaboratively tap into our networks and knowledge to make the change we most want to see a reality. So if you live in London or nearby, please join us next Friday morning 30 October 2015 as we breathe new life into the original #SocialGood unconference. Back then, as now, we see the power of a connected society as an invaluable source of good for social change, if only we can discover the people, ideas and resources we need to make the impact we desire in our noble pursuit.
Going beyond the origins of those first BrainJams, we now have a set of community collaboration tools to support participants before, during and after we gather together. With a combination of Slack and Will Someone, you are able to discuss important issues with our community, ask for the help you need to create the change you most want to see and stay on top of all the things others promised to do for you, and all the things you promised to do for them. In so doing, we are creating a community focused on manifesting more real world change then we are in simply talking about them. The time for action is now, are you ready to take it?
If you are in civic tech, coworking and/or social good. If you are working on an important project to make the world a better place, whether for an NGO, a startup or even inside a big company. If you have time and are trying to find projects where your contributions can make a real difference. Or if you simply want to meet other like minded people to see what is going on in the world today, please join us next Friday morning 30 October 2015 in London as we begin to make our noble pursuit a reality. Please note, at 830am we will be networking and we will start the programme at 900am, but please feel free to come at any time up until 1030am. The BrainJam will start at approximately 920am after a short talk and discussion with Chris Heuer.
What is the noble pursuit of We Are The Solution? That we can find more ways to change the world for the better through cooperation and collaborative problem solving then we can through oppositional politics. That we need to slow down to understand our commonalities and see our common humanity before fighting over our differences. That together, WE are the most powerful force on the earth, and WE can do anything we put our minds to doing.

I think my views are changing on this issue, after looking more at scripture and videos such as this. This of course changes my eschatological views as well. I think that ministries such as Musalaha is a great way to bring reconciliation to this region.
I love to hear that Brian! I hope that more and more people will realize what the Bible really teaches on this topic. God bless you!
