Back after the winter

Three weeks ago it was -7C at La Basse Cour.

Today it was 15C and my shorts made a reappearance having not been seen on site since October:


Adam is away with Amanda and Ambrose in Chamonix for the week so we are doing some grounds work. We are building a terrace in front of the house that will overlook the field - due to the fall of the ground this will have a retaining wall which needs foundations and steel supports:




And, we are hosting a new addition to the team for a week. 

Let me introduce you to Mango, Amanda and Adam's dog:


The cats were originally disgusted that we had brought home a dog but now they simply haughtily ignore him. Cats have a remarkable ability to instinctively know whether dogs are on a lead or not and then to sit approximately 2 metres beyond the maximum reach of the dog. Fortunately, Mango has quickly learnt that barking at them takes energy and has no effect.
