It begins again!  We are starting to plan the next two projects at Bellevue.  The first is the conversion of the remainder of the barn into a self contained mezzanine apartment.  The second is a renovation of the farmhouse, knocking through the kitchen and salon and replacing all of the doors and the windows.

Looking at the new grasses, towards the wild flower meadow

Our new neighbours have sheep!

The willow hedge has survived!! We only lost about 6 stems this summer, which was extremely hot.

The wild flower meadow needs cutting down soon. Anthony B should be doing this shortly

More of the new grasses

Anthony S has been down to France and has planted lots of bulbs and a swathe of grasses! Weather looks a little iffy though

More Cyclamen by the wood shed

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