Also at the same time the workshop starts to take shape.
 

 
  Running electric from the pole to a new supply in to what will be the computer room and the new house.
Just a 1 metre trench through stone and insert a 70mm conduit with pull through.
We hope this will connect up a 3 phase supply. Now inspected and passed just waiting for all the paper work to go through.


 
     
Trench filled with sand then a making tape all then filled in. Good old JCB.

JCB at work again. Had an oil leak but now fixed and back on the run.
Left cleared some ground for a Polly tunnel.
Right just clearing round the barn so we can start repairs on that when we have time......
Vegetable plot still doing well, Gerry now has a green house well a small one for now.
Fields around us have just been cut. 
 
Its been very warm so have put the pool up we managed to buy last year at the end of the season in the sales, very welcome in the late afternoon. Left, trees are now full of apples, cookers and eaters. Right, Grapes are well on there way.

The French certainly enjoy there leisure time, not folios fog but just skimmed across our fields, photos do not give it justices.
