Funny noises

Wakened this morning by strange noises above our heads.  Slowly realised that someone was walking on the roof.  Threw clothes on and rushed downstairs, saw a big ladder outside our door.  That was when we remembered we had asked the men working near the entrance to the village if they would come and check our roof.  There were signs it had been leaking, maybe because of all the snow this winter.  Eventually M. Couffignal came to the door and told us that we had two problems, one small, one big.  In short, we need to get the roof re-tiled this year and we are waiting to find out how much it will cost.  At least the sun is shining, as promised.
