Monday we left La Singlarie early driving to Toulouse to move out and clean Miss F's apartment along with her boyfriend. She's now back here for the summer with her worldly belongings dumped in her brothers room. After cleaning we met up with Master C and his girlfriend to go for a farewell meal as they depart for the summer, Master C has now left to work in Scotland for three months, Coralie his girlfriend goes to New Zealand (they were suppose to be both going but as we are British living in France he couldn't get a working holiday visa) and Florian leaves the end of June teaching scuba diving at Corsica. Miss F is home to sort out her getting into the real world - a job. (with a bit of weeding and gite cleaning in between)
Pig moving again proved a little slow. It took two days to move this group of five, they were so laid back. The last one I pushed up the hill as farmer J held the electric fence gate to shut them all in.
The lonely big white duck has stayed close, joining the old birds at times. I have tracked down some older birds but they are a bit ugly like this. Also hoping I can persuade farmer J we need a few khaki Campbell's ( which are not completely non money making as they supposedly produce quiet a few eggs) watch this space.
Farmer J started to weed the extension of the patch. Before it can be rotovated the many docks and nettles need to be removed which is proving to be hard work the ground is very compacted making those long roots firmly in bedded in the ground.
While having to complete the dog poo collecting task in the garden I nearly scooped this snake up - think it may be time to visit the opticians. This is the first grass snake that I have seen so near the house (and hopefully the last as I don't do snakes)
