The last few days have seen superb weather here, up in the high teens. After the last month of cold it's a real welcome change. Spring starts officially in a couple of days or so (20th), I'm hoping it's here to stay.
Caroline has been busy gardening and catching up rolling and mowing the lawns. Our local friendly farmer, Yves, came and cut the grass in play field. Sadly we had left it too late and the grass was too long for the mower to cope with. His tractor did the job in just a couple of minutes. I wish we could afford a mini tractor and attachments, it would save so much time.
Got another 15 tonnes of gravel arriving tomorrow morning to 'repair' the courtyard after the streams of building lorries etc. I spent most of the afternoon skiming the top layer of muck and rubble left by the building work etc. It was so warm I even took my shirt off. Not advisable in April, as I found out last year, but hey, lets live a little dangerously for once!
