And the trees came down….

We moved over to France permamently in mid September and have been getting to grips with the garden since then.

An old walnut tree took up a lot of space and the dark line of Thujas behind (originally a hedge) had grown to shade about a third of the space available.

So the first job was to get someone in to cut these all down. Timothee was a local “Castor Grimpeur” recommended to us and he did a fantastic job.

So we now have a large supply of logs (when seasoned for couple of years) and a huge pile of bark chips (of which more later).

It looked a bit severe but now the light could get to the garden area and the little house finally is getting some morning sun. So now it was over to us!
