I count myself very fortunate as, although the ground will become very hard after long dry periods, a good period of rain or watering for 30 to 45 minutes will have it easy to dig again with 24 to 48 hours.
Went to two brocantes/vide greniers today with Possum and found absolutely nothing of interest until, upon leaving the village holding the second one we came across this You can just see a little bump which is the head of one of two chicks in the nest and we were amused to see at least 3 lots of sparrows visiting their own nests in the under storey.
On the way home we passed thru a wee hamlet called La Cigogne - The stork - and spotted a single, lightning struck tree with 5 nests in its bare branches, all occupied.
Fabulous but couldn't stop for a pic.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I'll give you one guess what I spend much of yesterday doing to my garden borders.
Blissful viewing

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
