It’s spring in Provence!  Such a wonderful time of year full of possibilities as we return to our gardens, orchards, and fields with renewed vitality.

Bienvenue

It’s a pleasure to welcome two new members, Ralph Adrian Verney (Nazeem) and Georgina Rowley.

We also welcome Banjo to his new role as Cooper.  Check out his barrels now for sale in the Market.

 

Household Challenge (HHC)

The Household Challenge saw an update to the daily menu and the addition of a new monthly challenge. Also see Tips & Tricks written over a year of real-life playing time.

Brewery

A new, smaller barrel (holds 16 units) is now available for the aging of ale & beer.  As the smaller barrel costs less, this will increase the profits for the brewer.

Cheesemaking *Coming Soon *

IT'S HERE!

Cheesemaking is being upgraded to better reflect the real-life process.  Testing is underway with more news to follow very soon.

In the meantime, the Cheese recipe has been removed from the Cast iron pot.  Cheese can still be purchased from Myriam and retrieved from your basket.  This new version can be labelled.

 

Whew!  There’s lots to keep us busy this spring and if you have any ideas for other activities we would love to hear them. 

Enjoy!
