Saint Désiré - Anniversaire 1945
Moved a trailer load of slates from the hard-standing area. Thats the last of the mess and another job off the ToDo list. I would have finished more jobs (honest I would) if it wasn't for the 'quick' unscheduled pond cleaning session last week. The pond has mushroomed into new fish, new pump and filters, plumbing work, bricklaying, and planting. So much for a quick clean! Caroline did her weekly clean out of the chicken house which help provide some good manure for the compost heap. The kids love helping even though they get very messy.
The chickens are back to producing 7 eggs a day. I guess they must have just stopped laying for the last week. We thought they were laying somewhere else but we never found the eggs.

Watched qualifiying. No suprises, but I looks like Michael has started the psyhcological games against Button and indirectly against Montoya.
Major weeding and strimming session this afternoon. It's been a bit windy but fairly warm and sunny. The garden is a full time job at the moment. It seems like constant mowing, weeding, cutting, etc. but the garden is looking lovely and the lawns are in superb condition (apart from a few persistent moles).
New guests arrived today. The weather forecast is warmer and sunny for the next week which will be nice.
Started work on one, possibly two, new stories regarding our move to France and the first year setting up the business. It's been interesting going through the photos and getting a timeline. Funny how the memory distorts time.
