A lovely day for it


SUNDAY 26 MAY MOTHERS DAY

Here in France yesterday was Mothers day. The petit enfants arrived Saturday night, Miss F for 2 nights and Master C for the summer, he will be working soon as the camp site restaurant, in the mean time there maybe a few jobs around here for him....

The morning started like this, we are lucky we live at the top of the valley and have an amazing view of the mist below.


I got a day off from the feeding routine.Yippee !


Presents were recieved, lovely oils and vinegars from Oliver & Co, organic hand balm and a note book for the garden.


The day turned sunny and warm,  a walk with the dogs down to the Aveyron river made a change.

We started here at the bottom of our hill where the camping car pitches, tennis court and swimming pool are. Over the bridge is Najac's camp site.


Along the road, looking up to the left you can see the castle perched up on the hill.


To the right this is is the view.


The river was fast moving at the beginning.


The acacia trees were in blossom.


Over the old bridge 'Pont St Blase'  the water was a lot calmer here.


A quick hello to the ponies


Passing the allotment's (which were very tidy)


With competition for photo shoots.


A bit of potato growing envy, mine arn't this tall yet and not in so neat lines.


Further along we passed a small strip of poppies growing.


and back in time for coffee and crochet
.

It was a lovely relaxing Mother's day, Thank you family.

Happy cattle

For five months the cattle have been eating hay twice a day but today was their time to go back to pasture, they were more than ready. With two loads in the trailer going to La Contie the rest, the naughty but nice ones stayed at La Singlarie. Calves are on green grass for the first time following the herds around. Now for Spring time jobs to get started - so much free time for farmer J. Fencing, tidying around the farm, getting machines ready for hay cutting, getting the gites gardens ready for Summer and a new bathroom to fit, his feet won't be touching the ground.

Rabbit proof fence

In the hope of not loosing anymore greenery in the veggie patch today was spent today taking down an old fence which was put up around eight years ago. As it had a few holes in it this could be where  the rabbits are getting through. On the other side of the fence a chicken run was constructed were table chickens grew to a really good weight until we got a batch that had been, what we think were contagious with Mareks disease. Subsequently we stopped using it for chickens putting a litter of pigs in the area to get them use to electric fencing (which they did). It has been left empty for around 18months now with Gorgon and the girls have made break trough's through it last year gaining access into the veggie patch but now there's a lot of weeds. On the other side of the veggie patch is another old holey fence which has now got the recycled one that was taken down put in front of it, new posts and a trench dug to lower the wire in, earthed up and stones put on top
