Repairing storm damage in Brittany

 Sunday 18/10/20

The past week has flown past, the weather has been fairly kind and I have managed to get stuck into the garden.  A few mechanical issues tried to slow me down but I have managed to cut the lawns, chop us broken branches and trim the hedges.  It's amazing how just tidying things up gives one a completely different outlook.

I managed to raise the broken Jasmine onto trestles without
damaging it further but would struggle to work underneath.

Fortunately I could build a scaffold tower to
support it until I can rebuild the legs.

The medlar is carrying quite heavily and was listing quite badly
after the wind so I have tried to prop it up until we pick the fruit.

Weeding the potager under the watchful eye of a toad.

It has also been quite interesting being responsible for all my own cooking, I have been so spoiled be married to a fantastic cook but it has been good for me to get into the kitchen again.  Toni and Charmaine have also settled into a good routing back in the UK and, with all French flights currently on hold, we are watching to see how and when Toni can come and join me.

Our family of Ragondin seems to have evaded the attention of the farmer and grown in size since our last visit.
