22nd February 2026...mimosa and greenhouse


After several mimosa trees were brought down in the wind, it seems criminal not to collect some!


The remaining parts of the greenhouse...still no idea what we are going to do with it.

18th February 2026..... Chaffinch, Garden Wall, Morning mist.

We are feeding the birds on the windowsill as it's so windy....
Chaffinch, blue and great tits and maybe a nuthatch.

Bérengère built a bit more wall.... Dave hired a truck and made 3 trips to the quarry (gravel & sand mix) and one trip to Point P for more blocks. He did carefully move some of the gravel off the truck. 😱


Mist in the valley is always so Tolkienesque!
