The hills are alive ...


... with the buzzing of ride-on mowers and whipper-snippers as everybody is getting their place ready for the Christmas holidays.


My last deed for the year was to 'de-ivy' the walls of the 'Bibliothèque' and to clear the 'jungle' surrounding it by removing much of the undergrowth and covering it in woodchip. Not exactly cheap as chips but it looks good, doesn't it?

Hidden under all that woodchip is my electrical work in readiness for the installation of a Bali lantern similar to the one that's lighting up the foothpath by the watertank.


Let Christmas come - and with it our first visitors!
