Gunsmithing

The gorgeous weather continues here - last night a party at Virginie and Martins' (early Guy Fawkes night fireworks) and met lots of new people - always good. This morning awoke too late for a day in the mountains (despite the clocks going back) so did some autumnal tidying.

The 7 or 8 trees that I had left in field 2 were taken down and logged, repairs were made to the fences and hedges to keep them stock proof and one of the two remaining haycocks was moved to the barn (by hand).

Then some gunsmithing. I stripped the rifle, adjusted the trigger down to a more friendly 3 1/2 pound pull weight, sealed the inside of the wooden stock and made some adjustments to the stock so that the bolt and safety catch didn't bind on it.

Sandrine and Natasha stopped by this evening for a glass a wine (orange juice for 5 year old Natasha!) and to watch the sunset.
