OK back again

I got fed up of the Country Living site very quickly - it was terribly clunky to use or to find stuff.

Spring is in full glory here in Brittany. Four new lambs, more eggs than we have a use for (done lots of pickled eggs recently) and lots of flowers going mad.

Here is Bo (peep) new daughter of ('marigolds-for-an-udder') Dolly. I had to hand-milk Dolly that evening to reduce the tension a bit so that Bo could get her mouth round a teat.

This is the clematis 'montana' growing on the rustic arch. Below is a 'before' picture taken in August 2004. Proof that Greg helped to build the arch. The clematis on the arch and the Hangar behind have both come on a treat, and are almost in full flower.


More garden pictures:
The coutryard garden is fulling out, and the metal arches are starting to become covered with greenery. Hugh can be seen in the foreground, taking full advantage of sun-warmed slate to lie on.

This is the 'patio'. Bit of a pretentious name but a smashing place to sit on a warm evening. Below is another 'before' picture of this area, before we put the doors through the back wall of the side-barn.


Finally, for now, a photo of what I thought were going to be species tulips. They have turned out to be sparaxis. Thats what comes from buying cheap bulbs from a market, but pretty.


Oh yes, here is the poster for our concert in June. "Three traditions singing in one single voice". Tickets limited to 150. Bring your friends......
