Finished cementing in the stone around the fireplace, ready for pointing. Caroline has volunteered to do the pointing with a lime and sand mortar.
The two big leylandii hedges at the front need a bit of a haircut so whilst buying half-a-tonne of sand for the pointing we also bought a hedge trimmer. Twenty-four inches (600mm) of pure German cutting power.
The oil drum BBQ made another appearance this evening. We have got three families staying in the gites this week that all know each other so everything swung along very well indeed and all the kids behaved superbly. One of the advantages of living on-site with the gites is that our evening entertainment is close at hand and we don't need baby sitters.
