Our tree house in the making....

Last year, when Steve and I went for a run near our house in France, I showed him a cute little tree house (hoping that he would feel like making one...and BINGO!)
This was enough to light a fire under my favourite Kiwi (now re-named Charles Ingalls by Elodie) as he spent the rest of our holidays building us a tree house!

Actually I use the term 'tree house' very loosely as given the size of it and height (7m high/22ft high), it's more like a DIY project that's got out of hands but thanks to Steve's folks over from New-Zealand, the tree house now has walls and a roof and my Kiwi is feeling extremely proud of his achievements (well he should be because frankly I think it looks really impressive!)

Putting the walls up...

Almost there...

For those who are familiar with the famous kiwi bach (beach house), this looks very much like a kiwi bach in a tree...I'm loving it big time! It's not finished yet as Steve wants to add a couple of windows, etc but that's where we are going to sleep next time we're off to France in May!

"Well done"..... "Thanks, good job!"
