A Rural Experience

Moving along

Things are really moving along now, at last. In the next two weeks we will be taking delivery of the enormous beam to allow the living room wall to be knocked through making an extra large area. So if there are any strong men out there, looking for some beam lifting experience, then please let us know.

Strange goings on in the vegetable garden.

I've noticed a few thing happening in the vegetable garden which are a bit bizzare. I planted out lots of seeds yesterday. These included Broad and French beans, sweetcorn, spinach, rocket etc.

Help!! We Need a Greenhouse

It’s been a while since I have posted anything but now I’m back and raring to go. Lack of funds has caused an enormous setback and to be honest, there hasn’t really been anything worth writing about. Now that things are beginning to get back on track, I will keep you posted on the developments.

The Story So Far.......

My Fiancé and I moved to Limousin in France around November last year. We bought a large property consisting of 3 houses, a barn, a watermill and 30 acres of land. Originally from Scotland, I had then become a gardener in England before settling on France. Andy, my Fiancé, is originally from South Africa and works as a motorsport journalist.
