Extra time in Brittany

Saturday 25/04/20

 


We are now officially in extra time at our house sit, as we had originally planned to be relaxing in the UK with Charmaine before leaving for SA on Tuesday (in the world before Covid-19).  As it is, we're being kept busy with the growing garden and making sure crops are getting into the ground on time.







Most of the trees are in full leaf including the bonsai forest outside our back door.

The weather has been lovely; the long dry spring spell was broken with some good rains and the lawns and plants have been loving it.  It has been a busy few days as the hedges all needed to be trimmed, edges all edged, beds weeded and lawns mowed.  We may be exhausted (blame old age and office jobs in the past!😉), but when we look out on the garden every evening it makes it all worth it.  We are blessed.

You can't afford to miss any weeds when the feline supervisor has his eye on you. 


Jess - this is her happy face


When Jess has a strop she climbs into her box and hides under the blanket.

I managed to get some footage of the singing (shouting) frogs; about the only time they are ever quiet is when I try to record them, but they got going eventually.
