      As I have mentioned before, the last time we had a wet summer like this was back in '92, followed by a scorching August and a freezing winter of -25°.
      So, be prepared .
      If you need to buy wood get it now before the autumn/winter prices.
      Just get the wood in and stack it high.
      Our farmhouse is fuelled by wood - the kitchen cuisinière does the cooking + 7 central heating radiators and there"s th open-fronted Godin wood-burner in the sitting room.
      Therefore, I process, fell, cut, split and season a minimum of 8 cordes (24 stères) every year..and I'm getting to the age where I might need to get someone in to help.
      So....
      Melon patch looks amazing btw.

      Ordered the wood two weeks ago. 4 stieres and kindling. Kindling was free because we ordered it in the summer. Go figure.
      It’ll get here on the 1st August
      Last year we didn’t order it until October, got here in November soaking wet. Not making that mistake again 🇫🇷👍

    Hi Rob, Try some warm water and honey sooth the sore throat. Outstanding job on the lawn looks very impressive same applies to Lisa's; Pats Patch. Tomatoes with us have not developed yet, but the strawberries are are producing very well, Big-ones too. You have wasps, can be (no pun intended) nasty buggers, be careful don't annoy them. Lovely photos of Angle💝 & the garden. Also enjoyed the drive to Champagne Mouton.
    Take care all.

    You done well with the house still waiting for my builders to turn up, The interior looks very nice. For the bastille day there was fireworks in many neighbouring towns. Confelons , Montorillion etc . I went to a local Braconte and in the evening then had fireworks from the bridge and live music,. The bees nest i would leave well alone .

    Such dramatic changes in just a year, impressive my friend. A great piece of mind for the drain. There have been a few times where I had a issue like that which I needed to do a couple of steps. When it gets done it always feels good. That music sounds very French to me. For whatever reason when I think of France that is what I think of. I was wondering why I had never heard of a Courgette, but they looked familiar. We call them Zucchini here, Zucchini bread is one of our families favorite things. Hope the throat gets better, take care. Laterz!
