NOT ALL GOOD NEWS.



"The wettest May ever in Brittany" Thats what nextdoor neighbour Yves has told us. We have heard more thunder in this past 3 weeks than we did in the last 3 years in England. As you can see, the drainage from the garden is causing a problem, and the earliest the work can be done is September.
Still, with a bit of basic DIY, we are now keeping the water off the house by bulding a few temporary trenches which get bailed out when the rain stops.
All good fun...Honest!

It's all under control. At least it isn't touching the sides of the house....I never touch the sides before anyhow!!!
