More Cyclamen by the wood shed

(Dead) wild flower meadow

The beaches on the other side of the pool

The barked area seems to encourage mushrooms. Didn't chance eating one though,

The wild flower meadow is over. It will be cut right back soon.

The copper beaches around the pool are coming on well. Anthony is going down in October to remove the protectors and start training them.

The olive tree one year on. Going well.

Not sure why, but the cyclamen are out in September...

The bay tree is thriving.

Some of it looks dead - but almost all of it is still alive

More willow

The willow lived through the Summer. It was HOT.

At last we return to Bellevue. Another season over and things are all ok!

Me in the pool

On the floaty thing that Jenny (my sister) gave Lucy. Very nice.

Lucy in the pool!

Copper beach

Copper beach

The copper beach around the pool is straining at it's netting. Anthony S reckons we can remove it in September this year and start training it to bush out.

Concrete thing - with flowers

Anthony B has put someflowers in the concrete thing...

Barn Kitchen patio

Nice pic of the barn's kitchen patio area and garden

Cap for the grease trap

Nice subject - Anthony B has put a new concrete cap on the grease trap for the small house. (very exciting....)

All sorts of things grow in the well

Willow hedge

Whilst we were out watering the willow hedge, we popped into next doors garden to have a look around their building site. I got caught as the owner pulled up in his car..... He's a nice chap though so we ended up talking about fruit trees and this hedge!

Willow again

The lattice work in the willow hedge

Vegetable patch (to be)

This is the area that we have pencilled in for the vegetable garden. Anthony S has sent us some green manure seeds which will add to the goodness of the soil (I have a lot to learn). We'll be planting these in September after rotorvating this area. We will be building raised beds for the veg and I have just emailed Jamie Oliver to see who built his wood burning outdoor oven.. I WANT ONE!

Living willow hedge

It's still alive, bit looking a little thirsty. most of the willow down in this area of France is looking like this.. Anthony B is watering it every week..
