Storm clear up


After over a week of storms and torrential rain the clear up begins. Two trees each about 30m down in separate fields....this one is a poplar which fell on the bailer, the other (less accessible) is an ash. There have been many landslides including one which has cut us off from saint girons which we narrowly missed being in! They have been working to clear it for three days...hopefully tomorrow the road will open.


In the mountains the snow is over 3m deep....the best for at least 5 years.

weaving barn progress

The end is in sight! One more day of chaux chanvre to go, then the second fix joinery (skirting boards and architraves) and final connections of plumbing can be done. 

There's still the floor to be tiled in the back room and some decorating to today but all should be ready for Susie's birthday party.
