First thing to do, was pick a space for the finished tidy pieces!! And then work hard for a number of days and see what you can manage!!

So. all the fallen branches, the dead and broken branches we had to cut down and the undergrowth and saplings we pulled out had to be piled up somewhere, for the time being and this made the place look even worse!!!

Here are a couple of views of the other bottom corner of the orchard!! Starting to look better, isn't it?

Just to prove that we are not just sitting about enjoying the view!!

Here are a couple of 'before' and 'after' pictures of an area in the bottom corner of the orchard, which we have liberated from ivy and saplings.

It is Easter Sunday!!
It is 23rd March!!
And this is what happened this morning!!

The first order arriving from the Builders Merchants!!

Not only did we get exactly what we thought we had ordered with the very helpful young lady there in our elementary french, but they said it would arrive at ten o'clock on Monday morning that is EXACTLY when it turned up!!

Most important of all - particularly as far as Gavin is concerned, is the new Boulangerie making all the typical french breads!!



And just a couple of general views.
