...and now it's lost in the long grass. Oh well. Perhaps when archaeologists are finished finding ancient cities at Angkor Wat, they could use their airborne laser scanning technology to help us find it again.

| The walnut is leafing up nicely... |
John has been to tidy up the garden, and perhaps it would've been prudent to get him round there a few weeks back. He spent hours slashing and hacking and blade-trimming the long grass and then had to go around with the strimmer.
After all that effort, this is the clearing he managed to create in La Fromagerie's rampant growth:
 |
| The grape vine leading down to the hazelnut with its quince graft... |
 |
| The road is just to the right, believe it or not! |
 |
| The péripherique of plants that we planted is doing well :) |
Perhaps our romantic notion of a 'meadow' is unrealistic, given the rate of growth in spring and early summer, but we will see what it's like through one full year of seasons, and then make a decision.
In the meantime, we've asked John to go back in the next few days and finish the task of tidying up.
Son C and girlfriend will be there very soon!
