The rotavator makes short work of turning over the new ground.

But it is hell on the backbone.

Before weeding.

After.

Save the Blog not the cheerleader.

I had been wondering how to archive the Blog - I have found a good free site - http://www.printwhatyoulike.com/home/index2 - that saves the blog as a pdf albeit in sections. It works for any web page that you want to save in pdf or html format. It would be a good way of archiving any site prior to modification. (Look at that - only one day off from the garden and already I am back in the IT world!!)

Bored now ...... Again.

A second day of rain and strong winds so another day off. I did paperwork yesterday. Today I am having a lazy breakfast and reading a book (island farm by Fraser darling) Ah. The good life.

Not much to report.

A day of spreading gravel, planting a couple of fruit trees and chopping logs all in the rain. But we did meet Francis, the builder who converted the barn twelve years ago. He has promised to come back for coffee and a chat.

Another local walk along the top of the ridge.

Audrey took us for a walk along the ridge above the house - that's us in the
middle with our field beyond. We have also made plans to walk all along the
ridge to the far end.

When it rains I take shelter in the polytunnel.

This is the view.

Bored now.......

Rain on the roof of the tunnel.

Store yard finished.

Lots of catch up photos.

Too busy to blog. So here are some on going projects. The log store by the stable! Full up. So now we have started a new one the other side.

The trunk of the sycamore.

Ready for splitting. Sycamore is not much use for turning. Sadly.

All the branches sawn up for logs.

This is another job.

Putting down gravel from the garage to the polytunnel.

Levelling the area by the polytunnel

To make another storage area. For the mixer and sand and gravel. For the scaffold too.
