30

Today it reached the magic thirty degrees. The day started with burning all the bonfires (14 of them) in fields 3 and 4, and some more scything to tidy up. A trip to St Girons to buy some more wire for fencing the new fields and some fruit trees - a pear and a cherry which I have planted in field 2. I didn't notice that these aren't self pollinating so I need to buy a couple more next time I go.

Got an e-mail from Jon and Paul who skied up the Roc d'Enfer. They sent me a photo on the grassy summit though they swear they skied up and down! If conditions improve here perhaps I'll get a day in the mountains - a ski tour or a gulley climb.
