Lovely hedges Hosta. I do like yew so will think about how to get some in here.
DL - broke a toe last year. Took months to stop being painful and still twinges if I walk too far or dance too much. Good luck with yours.
Been out walking the dogs down the back lanes which are very green and leafy after recent rains. Gorgeous and full of berries and hips. Both dogs very giddy for some reason. Magic mushrooms for canines?
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

That is what i did and served it with roast tomatoes and Puy Lentils. If I say so myself, it was rather good. So much better with really fresh fish, than the stuff i normally buy in the supermarket.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
The neighbours across the drive asked us for morning coffee. They also invited an elderly lady who has been here a long time. She had a book with photos of the village in the past. There was a photo of our little terrace of 4 cottages which showed that ours once had 2 front doors so must have been two 1 up 1 downs. Now it's a 2 down and 3 up + kitchen added on the back.
Then we went to lunch with other neighbours, who we like very much.
So my day of housework and ironing was cut a bit short!
Back to France tomorrow.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
The little perennial bed in the front is doing well, grown like mad since I planted it. But Erysimum Bowles Mauve is trying to do a take over bid and is squashing the helenium behind. The sunny bank behind the wall at the back is doing well too. I planted rockery plants and they have spread a lot.

Sounds like a much better day than housework Lizzie
Love poring over old photographs❤️
Lovely that you have pleasant, friendly neighbours Busy.
Interesting too, to see photo of the cottage as it was originally. How is your garden at the cottage?

Certainly a lot less work than you have at home Busy.
