More rocks! Eventually these will be a terrace and a greenhouse foundation!

We went to the local raceway for the first time today. It was a lot of fun. It’s a formula one track in the middle of the French countryside.

Lots of progress today! We carved a new road to the pool area from the west entrance; filled the giant hole we made when we looking for the pool hoses; and we are currently backfilling the new terrace. It’s so very satisfying 😁✨

Autumn mowing. With the rains, mists and heavy dews, we waited weeks, for grass dry enough to mow. Then finally got a window (mostly dry). I mowed for 3 hours straight, getting about half done, before I was chased in by a squall.

We found the fosse and pool plumbing at the orangery.

And more pruning

Brush cutting… slow and steady. This is where the solar panels are going.

We have been exploring the wines From one appellation over. Madiran might actually be better than our own st Mont.. not to worry we are equidistant from both coop stores. 😆
