Some of Then and a lot of Now

Instead of doing a recap of the last year, as I did with the six month mark, mana_triniand I decided to interview each other to have a more global look at things.
 

( Has it really been a year? )

Life Then....                                                                                        Life Now....

Sheep and Chateau ...Just a few kilometers down the road from us was this private chateau. Don't see many, er, any of those around here. Sheep, though, lots of sheep, only sheep of a different color....	Banga Traditional (minus the tin roof, naturally) housing.
Rampant rose Ah, the spice of a red, red rose...	One of Three! What a bountiful harvest!
Sunset as seen from the Loire I miss my river walks.	Dziani sunset Picture taken from the Dziani crater.
Attic bedroom The sweet memories of sleeping under a quilt...and cuddling!	Terrace/bedroom Off go the cushions and table, down comes the mosquito net, et voilà--Bed! (We do have a "real" bed, but is so much cooler outside. Healthier and less expensive [no need to run the fans all night] to sleep outside.)
