The new coffee table is settling in, in the farmhouse.

The lavender in front of the farmhouse is making a real difference - it softens the building. Also the hydrangeas are coming back in force.

The copper beach around the pool are coming on!

Anthony B is doing a great job of keeping the garden under control - looks rather posh now....

Pretty

Mainly daisys but some other things poking through!

Closer view of the wild flower meadow

The wild flower meadow that Anthony S planted. Looks great from a distance - mainly daisys so far though.

Anthony B has also put some of the beams from the barn around the kitchen garden. It keeps the bark in and looks great.

Nice day this weekend! We got to sit in the sun for a while!

The main barked area is mellowing now. no signs of bamboo poking through.

We were down at the weekend. Anthony B has barked the kitchen garden - it is looking well established now!
