The Cavalry has Arrived

Guy and Carla arrived into Limoges on Monday afternoon and we gave them a couple of days to settle in. But today they volunteered to help and we didn't say no. With their help it didn't take long to move the remaining limestone chippings.




We are very pleased at how far the castine has gone. We think that we might only need two more loads to do all that we want done at the moment.






This aftenoon, Carla was drafted onto 'hay raking'. Michel had cut the long grass on our wildflower meadow about 2 weeks ago and we need to remove it to stop any nutrients washing back into the soil. So, not withstanding the afternoon sun, she beavered away raking the grass into heaps!





Meanwhile, Guy and I started on leveling the courtyard. This entaled moving rocks; rocks that are already in the courtyard but too high for our level, or bringing in more rocks to raise the level ..... (just like the chain gang.)

















Fortunately (or not?) there's no danger of running out of rocks.
