Weather Archives for Mas Novis
|
|
|
|
We began with this page on September the 18th in 2006! As we were unsatisfied by the Weather reports on TV, often different from the weather we had, we decided to tell you, day by day, what was our reality... and, then, what you could live if you were staying at Mas Novis...
In French only since March the 25th... We apologize, but it would have been too difficult to translate all that stuff...
|
| For older Archives, have a look here... |
| Sunday, May the 15th: Stormy Weather yesterday afternoon! But blue Sky and blazing Sun this morning. With significant Wind and running past Clouds, it was the ideal Weather to have a walk. That's exactly what our weekend Guests did! We've just received the last issue of the "Guide du Routard for Responsible Tourism". We like it! Did you find us on Facebook? |
 |
Sunday, May the 8th: We may not have the highest temperatures these times,
but certainly the better Sun! We get it from morning to night...
2011: a Year for fruits! All our trees are full of apples, plums and cherry plums...
Gelly, Syrup and Acacia Wine are waiting for you... Juices and Jams will follow... |
 |
| Wednesday, May the 4th: Full Sun on the Iris of Mas Novis! National Forecast isn't that precise for us: the Sun is blazing down since this morning. The Birds alone are livening the silence of our haven. We share it gladly... |
 |
| Tuesday, May the 3d: A view of Nature around the Mansion! Holm Oak (on the bottom), Ivy and Lilac in the foreground, toped by false acacia of witch the flowers will be used to make the syrup and our new flower-based wine...

 |
Thursday February the 24th: Much better than last Year as our Mimosa came into flower on March the 18th in 2010! And this picture was taken on last Sunday! Earliest and mildiest season?
We bet this will be. Wouldn't you come and see it during Vitality Session? Have a look up there. |
 |

 |
| Thursday the 10th of June: It's Strawberries time! And they are so delicious in Mom's Garden. That's what Siena thinks. We were on Sunday, before Weather got bad and wet, as it is still today, Alas! |

 |
Tuesday the 25th of May: We still need a sweater for dinner, but we are outside each night this time... So nice! Surprising week-end at Mas Novis: almost all our guests already convinced

Jean-Marc was a bit lonely, as he's discovering all that stuff... |
 |

 |
| Sunday the 9th of May: Last week looked like this picture: with sun in the sky and on tree leaves; but clouds on skyline and above our heads. Some very nice days, but Rain also, sometimes heavy! We'd put the heaters off two weeks ago; we put them back on yesterday! Due to the Icelandic Volcano, of course... This can't go on any longer! |
 |
Saturday the 1st of May: Exceptional evening yesterday, even unique:

Eglantine was born on the 1st of August in 1911! She is 99 years old this year.
And Lucine was born on March the 2d! She is less than 2 months.
We should not be capable of better!
Weather, as far as it is concerned, turned in wet. The same for today... |
 |
Thursday the 29th of April: Cockery Workshop, last saturday: on the Top, a delicious raw sauc

Landscape, around us is as green as our sauce! And Sun is radiant!.
We have dinner outside since Monday... |

For the Weather, it changes more quickly than we'd wish: sunny and very spring this morning (picture at 9 am); cloudy again since a few minutes... Should be nice this afternoon. We have a picnic at the "des Fosses" Pass with Cilou, Fabienne, Geneviève and Noël the trainees of Vitality Session... |

 |
| Friday the 12th of March: The snow is gently leaving us. It smelts a lot, but it has fallen so much... On the other hand, the Sun is shinning all the time since Monday ! Have a last glance at our slide show right here... And, after that, we will talk only about Spring! |
 |
| Tuesday the 9th of March: "Right" for today too! It's a bit cold, but very sunny in a marvellous Weather... The snow began to thaw yesterday afternoon but it iced over during the night. The landscape is just magnificent! Have a look on slide show right here... |
 |

 |
Sunday the 7th of March: Happy Birthday to Annie (André's Sister) and Morgane (Marianne's Daughter)... It's really difficult for us to imagine what Forecast tells us about snow (and a lot...) coming this afternoon! For now, we have sun and gentle wind.
Marianne is burning lops to clean the garden round the house... |
 |
| Saturday the 6th of March: This week, the Weather was very changeable. Sun and rain, as Wednesday when rain seemed to be continuous... After one day of wind, Sun is back but it is quite cold.

 |
| Tuesday the 2d of March:Subday and Monday, very mild Weather and a lot of Sun! Today, mildness and large Sun. No doubt, Spring is on the way... Very pleasant week-end with four very nice guests. Thanks to Sophie, Mylène, Gabrielle and Michaël... |

Better is forecast for today as you may see on picture
Anyway, the Spring is coming..., come and share it with us! |

Thursday the 18th of February: "Once upon a time", there was time enough to come more often and give you news about our weather... This has become hard because of the time we have... It's the Sun, this morning that urge me to come back to you! It's so fine and shiny today!
And also, today is the 40th Birthday of my son. Happy Birthday, Jef! |
 |

This "heart of Sweet Chesnut Tree" is for you as a gift fot the New Year..., even if the Weather is a bit grey these days... Welcome from the first days of February... to prune away appletree, for Valentine's day and... |
 |
Monday, the 21st of December: Officially First Day of Winter, but the Weather has turned into a warmer (less cold, maybe...) and very wet day! The Weather Forecast had predicted snow, but it's too warm for it. With such a low sky, only one good solution
an armchair in front of chimney and a good book... |
 |
| Sunday the 6th of December 2009: Stephanie, our last trainee of the year for Pottery, left this morning as we are preparing the "Noël des Artisans" (in Braine l'Alleud - Belgium - december, 12-13). The weather is cold enough and wet... Grey anyway. |
 |
Tuesday the 17th of November 2009: As announced yesterday, here is the new stove set for Xmas and New Year Eves! These two very special nights will be, then, warm and comfortable. We are waiting for you... For the Weather, today, despite Meteo France "who" sees us in blue, we are in grey... |

Monday the 16th of November 2009: Yes! The Yuccas are in blossom! The Weather is still very fine and so nice, even if the Sun was away today. At the moment, we are preparing Mas Novis to receive you for Xmas and New Year: the chimney in the dinning room is ready (pictures tomorrow). |

Sunday the 1st of November 2009: It has been a long time since we came and talked to you! We're changing our computers from PC to Mac! New habits and time needed... The All Saints'Day Week end is well occupied at Mas Novis and the Weather is really fine:
Sun is still here and the heating turned off!... |
 |
| Tuesday the 6th of October 2009: This time, the Weather has changed: grey sky and little rain... We'd need more as we are in debt with rain! |
 |
| Wednesday the 16th of September 2009: The Rain that was expected came last nigth. Steady, but not too much. It continued until now. As far as we can trust Weather Forecasting, Sun is back tomorrow, then storm and thunder for Friday and Saturday morning... Wait and see! |
 |
| Tuesday the 15th of September 2009: Quiet Time before the Vitality Session (have a look up there - we still have some places available). We have picked up the figs to make jam.

 |
| Tuesday the 1st of September 2009: Tourist Summertime is gently beginning to fade! We were only 6 at the Table last night. But outside, and without shivering... Today, the clouds arrived, forecasting Autumn. But, no rain! And yet it would be welcome... |

With your mouse on the picture you can see the "colours of Summer" and, then, the Weather we got this week, despite some short storms... |

The picture shows you one among the numerous places on the river side where you can go and have sun and bath...

The "chances" of Mas Novis! |
 |
| Wednesday the 24th of June 2009: With Solange and Maurice (from Metz), Roxane and Yvon "very old" friends of Marianne, from Belgium. This week, we received Reenita (from San Franciso) and her two kids (picture tomorrow). They are in transit for Hong-Kong! She is an Ayurvedic Doctor! So imagine the talks at the table... The weather is still fine and the wind has finally gone! |
 |
| Sunday the 14th of June 2009: The Weather looks like it is on the picture! Just Fine! We received yesterday our first Summer Guests. First, because they come here to stay two weeks. And they stay here two weeks along because our Table is végétarian! Great! Isn't it?... |
 |
Wednesday the 10th of June 2009: The Storm that was forecast last Friday was here! And we got heavy rains on Monday night. But, except on Sunday, Sun has dominated. That is the case today, as you can see on pictures (mouse on!) taken around 4.30 pm.

 |
Tuesday the 12th of May 2009: No Sun! But Marvellous flowers: Mas Novis' Iris... Since Saturday, the Sun runs in and out. Last night we've got a violent, but short, storm with hail!

Thursday the 7th of May 2009: 6 pm. The Weather, today, was simply marvellous
since the Sun Rise! It's going bad, now, with a lot of gray Clouds coming from the Aigoual Mount.
No Rain for the moment, but... |

 |
| Monday the 27th of April 2009: Sun and clouds till Saturday where clouds won! But, first time, without rain. It was just to wait for Sunday when rain fell for the whole day! Dreadful! But, today, to welcome the Vitality Session participants, Sun is back and we had the lunch outside... |
 |
| Wednesday the 22d of April 2009: The Weather still hesitates... But it's nice, without rain, most of the time. Yesterday and today, we've got more sun than clouds. Racou, the Cat, "he" keeps an eye (the two, it seems) on! |
 |
| Monday the 20th of April 2009: On Saturday afternoon, clouds and a bit stormy! Sunday was dull and today isn't bright even if it didn't rain. Sun wasn't absent but very often hidden by clouds. Raku, the Cat, doesn't matter: "he" sunbathes! |
Saturday the 18th of April 2009: Since Thursday, we've got marvellous Weather on morning and stormy clouds in the afternoon... Look at the sky, this morning, 7.30 am! Not a cloud!...
This is Novis! |
 |
| Thursday the 16th of April 2009: This day is much more than expected! As you may see on the picture... French Forecast told us that we'll have clouds and rain... Don't know if it'll stay like this, but we appreciate a lot... Tuesday was nice enough but Wednesday was cloudy and wet! |

 |
| Sunday the 12th of April 2009: It's not because I wanted to hide anything to you that I didn't come back for the Weather since last Monday! But, I must say that the Weather is really awful since Tuesday! Yesterday and today, it's raining continually and our Easter Guests had to abandon their hope of trekking... The Cats, they know exactly what to do in such situation! |
 |
| Monday the 6th of April 2009 : Lovely weather ever since Thursday! The sky is blue and the sun shines from dawn to night in spite of some clouds. Today, a little wind, just enough to go trekking easily. That's what our guests do without moderation! April began with Belgian people only; then a Spanish family arrived on Saturday... And You?... |
 |
| Wednesday the 1st of April 2009 : We awoke with the rain! But, it stopped quickly and we have blue sky and clouds as you may see on the picture that was taken at 4 pm... In the foreground, the pot marigold of Mas Novis... In French, we say "les soucis" (the problems!)... |
 |
| Tuesday the 31st of March 2009 : The sun has hesitated the whole day on Sunday before comming back at the end of the afternoon. On Monday, Sun and Blue Sky from morning to night. Sweet temperature too! Today, hesitancies again. Right now (6 pm), it's grey sky... |
 |
| Saturday the 28th of March 2009 : The "little water" is here! As we told you yesterday. Fine for our trees and future fruits... So, we stayed in the chimney corner the whole day, reading and watching films! Nice day waiting for tomorrow and the sun that is forecast... |
 |
| Friday the 27th of March 2009 : It would be too bad not to keep such a nice weather... So, we kept it! At least until to morrow, as the forecast is "wet" for Saturday and only that day... A little water ik OK! |
 |
| Thursday the 26th of March 2009 : Here we are! The English Web Site of Mas Novis is on line... Still some pages to translate, but we are visible! Thanks to Myriam and Myriam for their precious help. The weather, to day? Have a look on the picture... It was 3 pm... |
 |
Wednesday the 25th of March 2009 : For the first "Daily Weather" in English, we can't give you the best! We have blue sky, but clouds also and the temperature is quite chilly...
We hope better for next days... |
