Gardening

Since we have been in France, the lawn in the front garden has been taken over by moss and definitely need an overhaul.

Earlier this summer I met Jackie Hamblen at a book swap and she mentioned that she designed gardens. She came to look at the project and then gave us a wide variety of ideas to select from.

This week, after 2 days of digging and moving stones, she finished the work and we are really pleased with it. I can't wait for the grasses and lavender to grow to show off the full effect.

Thank you Jackie.

Foire de la Pomme du Vin, du Riz

Aigues Vives should have held their Foire de la Pomme du Vin, du Riz last week, but due to the torrential rain that fell over the weekend it was postponed to this Sunday.

We went with the intention of buying apples for mincemeat for Christmas and seeing what was happening in our neighbouring village. As usual, there were lovely displays using the apples.

Unfortunately it didn’t seem as well attended as previous years, but this might be due to the change of date.
