Make Hay While The Sun Shines
We have been enjoying extraordinary Winter temperatures for the last couple of weeks, 18 degrees in the shade today.
We didn't think we would lay the new gravel driveways before next Autumn with Provence beckoning, but it's done, 11 tonne of 10/14 grade, it's looking good.
