26th April 2019

New drain behind the barn, being filled in. 

Dave really getting the hang of it! 


And breathe. 

New driveway is in a temporary state as large stones needed on the slippery mud. 

Wall around this garden piece will start on Monday, maybe i can get some veggies in after all! 

Hedge is growing nicely, must be the rain...

18th April 2019 wall foundation

Just put in a basic foundation to provide somthing solid to build a stone wall so we can level off this bit of garden and provide an edge to the drive. 

15th April 2019 another drain

Continuing installation of the drain to the top of the land, to take some of the water when we get heavy rain. 

"A bientot, Pet" we are already getting offers of cheap labour from England. 

Seriously though, our friends Simon and Julie were staying at their holiday home in the village, and Simon offered to help.
