DeJoux House

Well, it was memorial day. We had no bathroom, no kitchen, nowhere to entertain...so what do we do? Invite all our friends in Ulster County to a Garden Party. It was a beautiful day, if a little hot for working and preparing for guests. Before we had even started we braved the pond for a swim. It was amazing. All morning we kept jumping back into the pond. Daniel made me a work bench on the porch to make Pimms and English style sandwiches (Cucumber, Cheese and Branston Pickle, Ham and Tomato, Beef and Horseradish, Egg salad and watercress). I wandered round to all the neighbors and those who were in, I invited. As guests started to arrive, Cindy was still in her bikini. (she had put the bikini top back on by then). It was great to meet our neighbors Bob and Carol from across the road, Neil and family from the other side of the trailer and Colette and Tom from further down Springtown Road and happen to be Dawn's (from R/GA) in laws. In fact it turned out that people stay...

This may be a very foolish thing to do as we have no house and no garden to speak of. However, many people have expressed an interest in seeing the house in the "before" state. Our uber-friend Cindy Gallop will be staying with us so it seemed like a good idea since the weather will be glorious and the brambles are so beautiful now. We decided to host a small gathering of local friends and some of our new neighbors for a drink by the pond. No kitchen so we can only serve sandwiches. The spring water is perfect for chilling wine and the toilet is still plumbed in (although you have to use a bucket to flush!). If any of our DeJouxHouse.com friends are in the area from 4.00 -6.30pm on Sunday 30th May, please feel free to pop buy. (All we ask is that you bring some wine to make sure we don't run out). See you in the field. Daniel and William UPDATE: Photos on facebook CLICK HERE
