Returning Volunteer Gwen<\/p><\/div>\n

A volunteer who knows here gardening Gwen from UK<\/h1>\n

Gwen who is a retired Exams Administrator in the UK\u00a0 is yet another returning to La Giraudiere to volunteer again this year (Yes second trip this year) and has taken advantage of working outside to enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful views of the french countryside that La Giraudiere offers.<\/p>\n

Gwen was only here for\u00a0a week for her second visit and boy did she get a lot of things done; she started\u00a0each day with watering all the new plants that had been previously planted by other volunteers and has taken great pleasure and pride in pruning the beautiful wisteria vine, which incidentally had bloomed twice during the year. To top it all off she trimmed all the hedges in the front of the property;\u00a0we think she can come again. Lets hope Gwen will be returning again next year.<\/p>\n

Gwen also took advantage of the beauty and tranquility of La Giraudiere\u00a0when not working, enjoying lazy afternoons and the occasional wander to the local lake. I for one enjoyed\u00a0a lovely spaghetti bolognaise\u00a0which she prepared on her night of cooking.<\/p>\n

Even in the short time Gwen was at La Giraudiere she enjoyed a variety of excursions including a trip to St Emilion with Paul, Shao-Ping and Andrea<\/p>\n
