Move On

We are now ready to move on with our lives but of course Christmas is nearly here, Guy is coming 'home' (although he has never seen the place!) and we think we will have to organise visits to friends who are either comimg to France or who live here. Then we have got to organise our return to England to celebrate Rene's life with her friends and family. But, we can't let all of that stop us too much. There's just too many things to do!

The weather has turned cold at nights but, during the day it starts to get warm by about 11 0'clock. And of course, by then, I'm too hot in thermal underwear and about 4 more layers of clothes!!!
This pattern of weather also means that the grass is still growing. So, although I've mothballed our new mower for the winter, I had to get it out again to mow the back field. But it is satisfying when it is done as it changes a field into a garden.

Also, whilst the weather is good like this, we are afraid to waste it. We have things we can do inside but we feel that we must work outside whilst it is good. So Sue has been continuing with clearing the brambles and saplings out of the top hedge of the front garden which leaves me with heaps of very prickly twigs and branches to load into the trailer to take to the Tip (Dechetterie). But I enjoy doing these jobs that will only have to be done once. Another job to cross off my list
