2007-11-07 Planting Trees

We went to the market at St Jean du Gard with Pierre and Armelle.............and bought several trees for the garden.
this is an abutus (strawberry tree)


these two in the foreground are Reine Claude (greengages)


abutus and gardener!


Genadine (pomegranette) which has caused a bit of interest here, as it will be the only one (if it survives)

and OK so its not a tree, but an Agarve, which should stand the drought with no problems.

2007-11-03 Repairing the Wall

A small section (3mtrs) of dry stone retaining wall had fallen down, maybe 20 years ago.......the Cailho task force were called in to do the repair.

at one time there were 10 people either building or sorting stones

even les enfants were enrolled !!


this is about a fortnight later, when the 5 main builders returned to finish the wall.

here is the wall finished, and it only cost 2 lunches !!!!

AND A LOT OF HARD WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRAVO!
