le Taureau!

We've finally bagged ourselves a new mower, we call her 'The Bull'

As you can see the lawn was well and truly ready for some attention

Maybe next time we'll show you our new 2 stroke weed wacker, mmm, smells just like an Aprilia

Wild life

We have a lovely herd of cows and a few bull calves on our plot at the moment. The calves are happy to eat from your hand, but the adults are much more wary it seems

This one has an inverted Swoosh ('Nike tick' to you English folks) for horns. She's annoyed because I keep making 'Just Moo It' jokes

Last but not least, we have swallows nesting in the barn. At this time of year they tend to attack windows thinking their own reflection is another swallow on their 'turf'

Thanks Melanie

New addition to the family

Better quality pictures on the way soon, promise

Baby Legs

Baby Legs, they're like full length leg warmers for nippers. Keeps their legs like 2 hot sprigs of asparagus whilst allowing easy access for changes and also keep her looking fresh!

The kitchen has arrived and now awaits sanding and oiling before fitting. That's a solid 5cm thick worktop there

Lucius' new bathtub

Dovetail niceness

The floor is also here, sitting in the house for 2 weeks to acclimatise before fitting

As is the new back door, handmade and looking correct next to the kitchen

Our camera has died

Sorry, we'll replace it as soon as possible. The news is that the cows have returned to our land for spring before heading up into the mountains for summer (an event known as the Transhumance), the chipboard subfloor is down (covering hideous 70's brown tiles forever) and the ecological oak floorboards boards have been ordered, the new kitchen cabinets are here ready for sanding and oiling, most of the veg seedlings are up, and Lucius is looking lovely and amazing us both with newness every day.
