Under pressure...we are now!
We started to empty 'Les Balcons' yesterday to allow new tenants in who are renting it unfurnished.We had allowed ourselves a month from our previous tenants vacating it to give us time to rehouse/sell some of the furniture and do a bit of life-laundering and any maintenance that might be required. We made a good start yesterday with the help of Alex and Nicole and were confident that our timescale was fairly relaxed - now we have 'lockdown' again which puts a whole new perspective on things! Hey ho and away we go!

It's only taken 10 months !
When I started my last little project here at the Old Walnut Mill at the end of 2019 I decided that to move things along I would give the glazing of our door to a local joiner while I pushed on with the building work - never for a minute did I expect that I would not see it again until now! He arrived this morning and hung it although, unsurprisingly, it needs a little tweak and he didn't have the correct tool with him, so not quite there yet!

Still busy...
The Busy Lizzies (Impatiens) here in the courtyard of the 'Old Walnut Mill' are still giving us this colourful display. The begonias behind are from last years plants.

Still picking strawberries...
We picked our first strawberries from the back garden here at the Old Walnut Mill back in May (22nd) and last night I picked some and had them with natural yogourt - yummy.
