Evening in Mesle

Veg plot looking up from the potato patch.

Lawn's a bit dry...

...but the rhododendrons like it.

Pond is starting to look natural now the grass around the border's growing.

Things taking off at last in the polytunnel. I think it was the cold weather that delayed everything. That's Puck being his usual slightly creepy follow-me-everywhere-meowing thing.

Bit hot for April.

Ahhh... spring is here and it's hot, so I skived off and wandered around the garden pretending to check on things.

Old cider press, beyond help more's a pity, covered in wild garlic.

Way from the hangar to the veg plot.

I'm going to get a load of cuttings from this hazel and grow a hedge. Best nuts on the island, apparently.

That's it, I'm off for a beer. I have to find a spare day to brew some more for the summer...

Winter

Some photos of the views when it got a little chilly the other week:

View from the kitchen window across the field to the woods.

The track at the bottom of our field, down to the old mill at the bottom of the valley.

The view from the end of the field to a very big tree on a hill.

A nice view to start the day...

8 o'clock and the sun's just coming up!
