Moulin Rouge

Every year I do a season, usually four weeks, four productions at a youth musical-theatre camp - Beauville - France (47).
This, as I write, is week three for me - Last week was 'Annie' and the seasons first show was 'Oliver".
I am the set designer and teacher for arts and crafts. as the kids get to make most of the stuff for their shows. 'Mama-Mia' next week!

It's not just Art courses and letting a Gîte.

I've said before that we are now, Nikkie and I, just about completly 'Texatelier', but that doesn't just mean the business of running facilities that provide income: Arts classes, English teaching, the gîte etc - it's the way of life.
We farm, we harvest, we process foods, we sell we exchange; they're not inseperable or lesser parts of the whole that is 'Texatelier'
Here's some images that put that reality into a context of a 'vie paysanne', and consider them a precursor for the first of a series of little films coming soon.

One medium 'Biche',

One rainy afternoon,

Two people,

20Kg top quality venison

The day after 4 cubic m of fire wood to cut down for the stove

more wood in the Wood to fell and trim for seasoning for next year

And that's all for this last weekend!

I would like to start making more and better use of this site - what do you think? post a message and let me know.

2009 has been a strange year - finding work and income, for example has been very hard.

It's one thing to look at this list of qualifications below, (previous post = CV), and say "ok", "well experienced, plenty of coverage, lets give him a go" ... but here in France no-one does!

It's for that that I picture the orchard - the trees, the fruit, the juice ... it never answers back in the negative, but at the same time for all the hard work and expense it demands - never pays back much more than coppers. People, it seems, would rather shop for naff produce in the naff supermarkets than support the needy artisan who produces reasonably priced, qualitive, organic, (Bio), produce. Let 2010 be better.
