Ricardo and Pascale spend more than 2 weeks with us. They are amasing couple, very friendly, open-hearted, kind, with a lot of skills : our garden is ready for Spring now, animals are clean and happy and my bicycle has a new garage. We spend very nice time together, celebrated my birthday and meet New Year at fire place. We became good friends.
