I bought my home in the Couserans Pyrénées in 2004 and left the UK to live here full time. After 5 years of solo adventure I met Susie and her children Jasper and Ruby. We married in 2012 and spend our time walking in the mountains, looking after our chickens and sheep, transforming their wool and other fibres into woven, knitted and felted creations and growing/foraging for our food.
A lovely day: clear blue skies and snow on the mountains. Spent it making gates and fences around the barn. These should provide access to the barn for the sheep, whichever field they are in and also provide a way through for the tractor (and any pedestrians using the communal path).

Nice. Do you use nails or screws?
Generally nothing - just tension in the thinnings. On very short fences (with 3 posts) I sometimes tie a rope at the top of the posts to stop them spreading (visible in the blog photo). The gates have a few nails to keep the vertical spacing of the thinnings - but only because I didn't have enough to pack them more closely.
