2012-06-28 Ann’s visit, & Dave’s Wall

 

Ann took some time off from the sun bed, and thinned out some of the overflowing kiwi fruit……..

Posing by the Lavender

At a local Art Expo…..in front of Anik’s poppy paintings (one of which sold later that night!)

 

Ann also did a LOT of weeding….these are baby sweetcorn.

I got the shallots….courgettes are behind me and the long curly spikes are the tomato supports, red onions in the foreground

Dave repaired the wall between us and Anik, which had washed away in the rain of the winter (s)

2012-06-07 Dave’s Drain

We needed the water from the terrace to not all go down behind the wall on to the road, as we have had one ‘wall fall’ this year already, so Dave constructed a drain which will direct most of it away UP the hill and out onto the road…….thanks Karl for the tiles !

Test time !

Bingo !!

Ready for all those thunder storms we have been promised…….still waiting !
