Walking Sunday 2
We parked up by the lake again and this time walked to L’abbaye de bon repos and back. The terrain was no easier overall. A energetic 12Km.
The wet zone
Back to the garden.
As the land gets so wet in the autumn and winter such that, the pond area overflows with water and the area adjacent becomes the supplementary pond, we decided to put in plants that should tolerate the water well and fight the overwhelming grass. So to a wet garden zone.
The first stage has been to clear the area of grass: cutting first and digging out the roots next. And so the area looks like:
So the earth is prepared and we await the new plants- about 300euro worth!
Let’s hope it works.
Lac de Guerlédan
A scorching day – 32C and time to try out the locale after spending so much time doing jobs.
Only just over 5km but a lot of effort in the heat. Lunch at Beau Rivage.
Recent visit
I recently went to say hello.
As ever it was a bit sad. Not because of M&D but because of the unattended graves – people who were interred at the same time as my dad. The child of three months and the woman in her 50s who have never had a permanent headstone. Sad.
