Nous sommes devenus des \u00ab\u00a0hosts\u00a0\u00bb depuis plus de quinze mois et avons re\u00e7u d\u00e9j\u00e0 une vingtaine de personnes venues de quatre continents… Ces personnes viennent ensemble ou seules, sont jeunes ou pas, plus ou moins autonomes. Il faut toujours quelques jours pour qu’un nouvel helper se sente chez lui ; les uns sont tout de suite efficaces, les autres ont besoin de temps pour s’habituer.
\nWe became \u00ab\u00a0hosts\u00a0\u00bb for more than fifteen months and we have already received around twenty persons coming from four continents … They come together or alone, they’re young or not, more or less autonomous … Most of the time they need a few days before feeling as if they were in their home; some are efficient at once, others need time to accustom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s leur d\u00e9part, on a revu Alan, Alessandra, Mathieu et Fiona, et on a bon espoir de revoir aussi un jour Carlos et Janet…
\nAfter their departure, we did meet again Alan, Alessandra, Mathieu and Fiona, and we have good hope to see also one day Carlos and Janet …<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pour nous, le premier mot anglais appris l’an dernier a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0brouette\u00a0\u00bb, et cette ann\u00e9e \u00ab\u00a0limace\u00a0\u00bb. Les deux mots peuvent d’ailleurs fort bien fonctionner ensemble puisque je d\u00e9truis des brouettes de limaces.
\nNe pas confondre limace et chenille…
\nFor us, the first English word learned last year was \u00ab\u00a0wheelbarrow\u00a0\u00bb and this year \u00ab\u00a0slug\u00a0\u00bb. Both words can also work well together as I destroy wheelbarrows of slugs.
\nDont make confusion between slug and caterpillar …

Nous avons accueilli Ana-Paula au mois de juin. Elle a trouv\u00e9 qu’il faisait trop chaud, mais nous, la chaleur nous avait trop manqu\u00e9 ! Le soir m\u00eame de son arriv\u00e9e, une onagre s’est ouverte expr\u00e8s pour elle. La fin de la floraison de la \u00ab\u00a0primev\u00e8re du soir\u00a0\u00bb dure une minute, on voit les p\u00e9tales se d\u00e9ployer comme un objectif photo s’ouvrirait, on peut parfois entendre un tr\u00e8s l\u00e9ger craquement (m\u00eame si c’est incroyable). Puis vous sentez un parfum d\u00e9licieux. Les onagres sont magiques. Regardez autour de vous, il y en a un peu partout qui poussent, sauvages, sur les talus. Au mois de juin, c’est avant neuf heures qu’il faut surveiller leur \u00e9closion.<\/p>\n

We welcomed Ana Paula in June. It was too hot for her, but not for us, we missed too much warmth! The evening of her arrival, a primrose opened especially for her. The end of the flowering of the \u00ab\u00a0evening primrose\u00a0\u00bb takes one minute, you can see the petals unfold as a camera lens opens, you can sometimes hear a slight creak (even if it is incredible). Then you smell a delicious perfume. The primroses are magical. Look around, there are everywhere growing wild, on the slopes. In June, you can try to see their flowering before nine in the evening.

Ana-Paula a d\u00fb apprendre tout ce qu’elle fait ici, et elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s courageuse ! Ce n’\u00e9tait pas facile car elle n’a pas l’habitude du jardin.
\nAna Paula had to learn everything she does here, and she was very brave! It was not easy because she isn’t accustomed with the garden.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Elle s’est lanc\u00e9e dans un gros travail de nettoyage : moi-m\u00eame j’aime bien le faire, mais j’aime encore plus avoir du temps pour autre chose.
\nShe began a big cleaning job, that I like to do, but I prefer to have more time for other things.
\n<\/strong>Le v\u00e9lo, elle conna\u00eet, avec un sens de l’orientation un peu \u00e9trange et des habitudes d’acrobate…
\nShe knows how to drive a bike, with a strange sense of direction and acrobat’s habits…
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Claude a install\u00e9 une ruche dans le parc : chance incroyable, un essaim s’y est install\u00e9 le lendemain.
\nClaude installed a hive in the park: incredible luck, a swarm settled there the next day.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Je suis all\u00e9e surveiller les abeilles.
\nI went to watch the bees.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong>Vous ne savez peut-\u00eatre pas : le pollen, ce sont les petites boules de couleur aux cuisses des abeilles.
\nYou dont’ know perhaps: the little colored balls on the legs of bees are the pollen.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Il \u00e9tait plus facile de photographier le papillon.
\nIt was easier to photograph the butterfly.

Quand Carlos est venu chez nous, il avait pr\u00e9vu de chercher \u00e0 s’installer en France, et le grand changement que repr\u00e9sentait son voyage ne l’a pas surpris. Toute diff\u00e9rente est la d\u00e9marche d’Ana-Paula, pour qui \u00ab\u00a0tout a chang\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb. J’avoue que je suis tr\u00e8s fi\u00e8re si notre mode de vie simple est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme un mod\u00e8le, et je lui laisse la parole, quand elle aura d\u00e9gust\u00e9 le flan qu’elle a pr\u00e9par\u00e9.
\nWhen Carlos came to us, he had planned to try to settle in France, and the big change that represented his journey did not surprised him. Any other approach is Ana Paula’s, for whom \u00ab\u00a0everything has changed.\u00a0\u00bb I confess that I am very proud if our simple way of life is considered as a model, and I let her speak, when she has tasted the flan she had prepared.<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>ANA-PAULA :
\nAt le Charbinat I would say that I am expanding the horizon!<\/span><\/strong>
\nAu Charbinat, je peux dire que mon horizon s\u2019ouvre\u00a0!<\/span><\/p>\n

I am living a different lifestyle, I’ve been apreceating things that I didn’t use to care before I arrive here.<\/span><\/strong>
\nJe d\u00e9couvre un mode de vie diff\u00e9rent, j\u2019appr\u00e9cie des choses dont je n\u2019avais pas l\u2019habitude de me soucier avant d\u2019arriver ici.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul and Cali have been introduced me to the garden, healthy food, cookery… I might sound cliche, but the truth is I am learning how to appreciate the simple life, how to take it easy. I never thought that I would say: I am loving work in the garden, pick strawberry!<\/span><\/strong>
\nPaul et Caly me font d\u00e9couvrir le jardin, la nourriture saine, la cuisine… Cela ressemble \u00e0 un clich\u00e9, mais c\u2019est vrai, j\u2019apprends \u00e0 appr\u00e9cier la vie simple, comment la prendre avec facilit\u00e9. Je n\u2019aurais jamais pens\u00e9 dire un jour\u00a0: j\u2019aime travailler dans un jardin, r\u00e9colter des fraises\u00a0!<\/span><\/p>\n

My hometown is a such busy city, where everything is 24h… My life was definitely full on, the day used to start at 5h and finish around 23h30 or later, and in the end of the day I was saying: Gosh I need a day with 32h. Seemed that I was running out of time, definitely I was!<\/span><\/strong>
\nLa ville o\u00f9 j\u2019habite est tr\u00e8s anim\u00e9e, elle ne dort jamais. Ma vie \u00e9tait absolument remplie, les jours commencent \u00e0 cinq heures et finissent vers vingt-trois heures trente, ou plus tard, et \u00e0 la fin de la journ\u00e9e je dis\u00a0: mon Dieu, j\u2019ai besoin de journ\u00e9es de trente-deux heures. Il semblait que j\u2019\u00e9tais \u00e0 court de temps, je l\u2019\u00e9tais sans aucun doute.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before I arrive here I thought I had all the answers for my life: where I’d like to live, which career was the best, how would be my future after my degree… But now, everything has changed, I’m not sure about anything else – this is awesome, trust me!\u00a0 Because now I know what is quality of life!<\/span><\/strong>
\nAvant d\u2019arriver ici, je pensais avoir toutes les r\u00e9ponses pour mon existence\u00a0: o\u00f9 j\u2019aimerais vivre, quelle carri\u00e8re \u00e9tait la meilleure, comment serait mon avenir apr\u00e8s mon dipl\u00f4me… Mais maintenant, tout a chang\u00e9, je ne suis plus s\u00fbre de rien – c\u2019est fantastique, croyez-moi\u00a0! Parce que maintenant, je sais ce que signifie \u201cla qualit\u00e9 de la vie\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I need a nice car?? Just to show it in the stressful S\u00e3o Paulo’s traffic.\u00a0 Why not have a life in place where you can ride a bicycle!?\u00a0 as long as I know how to ride it.<\/span><\/strong>
\n I’ve been living in a place where people say \u00ab\u00a0Bonjour\u00a0\u00bb to the neighbours!!… Maybe you are going to say: don’t be silly Ana Paula! However, this is something that I am not used to, I don’t even know who are my neighbours, or I might know but I don’t know their names… What was the life I was living?? Now I am learning how to be a human… To care more about the people around me, about the nature, about me…<\/span><\/strong>
\nPourquoi ai-je besoin d\u2019une belle voiture\u00a0? Seulement pour la montrer dans le trafic stressant de S\u00e3o Paulo. Pourquoi ne pas vivre dans un lieu o\u00f9 on peut conduire un v\u00e9lo\u00a0!? aussi longtemps que je sais comment le diriger.<\/span>
\nJe vis dans un lieu o\u00f9 les gens disent \u201cBonjour\u201d aux voisins\u00a0!!… Peut-\u00eatre allez-vous dire\u00a0: ne sois pas stupide, Ana-Paula\u00a0! Cependant, il y a quelque chose dont je n\u2019ai pas l\u2019habitude, je ne sais m\u00eame pas qui sont mes voisins, ou je pourrais le savoir mais je ne connais pas leurs noms… Quelle \u00e9tait la vie que je vivais\u00a0?? Maintenant, j\u2019apprends \u00e0 \u00eatre une humaine… \u00c0 prendre plus soin des gens autour de moi, de la nature, de moi-m\u00eame…<\/span><\/p>\n

In a couple of months I’ll be in S\u00e3o Paulo with another mentality, introducing \u00ab\u00a0le jardinage\u00a0\u00bb to my parents! Reading gardening magazines, after living in a wonderful place like here with so many colourful flowers, of course I will want a garden in my balcony!! To be honest I will be another Ana Paula when I am back to BR!<\/span><\/strong>
\nDans deux mois, je serai \u00e0 S\u00e3o Paulo avec une mentalit\u00e9 diff\u00e9rente, pr\u00e9sentant \u201cle jardinage\u201d \u00e0 mes parents\u00a0! Je lirai des magazines de jardinage, apr\u00e8s avoir v\u00e9cu dans un lieu aussi magnifique avec une telle profusion de fleurs color\u00e9s, bien s\u00fbr que je voudrai un jardin sur mon balcon\u00a0!! Pour \u00eatre honn\u00eate, je serai une autre Ana-Paul quand je retournerai au Br\u00e9sil\u00a0!<\/span><\/p>\n

Definitely you should come to Charbinat and learn what is life!!<\/span><\/strong>
\nVous pouvez sans aucun doute venir au Charbinat et apprendre ce que c\u2019est que la vie\u00a0!!<\/span><\/p>\n
