The last of the big trees is down, the Lyme tree closest to the Manor house was too close for comfort Chris said, he excavated near the house and found big roots encroaching. Not to worry, the three remaining Lymes are magnificent, just look at the size of the trunk in comparison to Chris. It won't be cut up until the Arctic freeze is over, -7 degrees today with heavy snow, only one thing for it, where's the sledge !!
Chris and Joanne celebrated St Valentines day in true romantic style. Pink champagne breakfast, scallops and roe deer fillet dinner with a lovely bottle of Chateau Neuf de Pape, chocolates obligatory !!
Joanne takes charge in the hunting lodge and prepares a gorgeous Roe Deer Civet, look at that smile, Chris says food always tastes better when the chef is a happy chef !
Chris says that the French lifestyle has done wonders for his receding hairline !
Now where are you Bonny, I know you're in there somewhere ?
Jess will never find me here !
