The race is almost ready to start. We’ve had yet more continuous rain almost since the ‘terrassier’ finished his work on Wednesday. Thomas, my builder’s surveyor, returned unexpectedly late Friday afternoon to make sure that the posts that we’d put in place where the corners of my new house will be were still exactly positioned after the ‘terrassement’. It had been raining before he arrived and he had to don his rubber boots and by the time he’d finished, they were caked with thick orange-brown clay.<\/p>\n

It has rained almost continuously since he left but now it’s stopped and it looks as though although there are some high winds forecast, there won’t be much more rain next week. In fact, it looks as though the temperature will get up to 18 degrees Celsius by the end of the week, which is quite extraordinary. But it means that there should be a good chance that the land will have dried out before then if the builder is able to start work.<\/p>\n

In the meantime I’ve made and uploaded a video showing the work that the ‘terrassier’ did last Wednesday which can be viewed by clicking on the link below.<\/p>\n
