Third Time Lucky

With dogged determination we today planted a tree on the mound in the back field. You may recall that we have done this before and today was our third try. We actually had to plant trees in the front garden three times before we were successful.

We chose this Acer Autumn Blaze for its autumn colour, always optimistic that it makes it as far as next Autumn.

We seem to be way behind with the autumn jobs in the garden this year and I fear that we will not finish before winter really takes hold.

A farmer has installed his sheep in the adjacent field and I have to admit they fascinate me. French sheep are different from British sheep; they graze very fast and move en mass across the field. Suddenly they all sit down. I have never been "up close and personal" with a flock of gallic sheep before!
