Beautiful weather

September is normally lovely, but it rained a lot this year. It is making up for it in October with days and days, weeks even of beautiful sunshine.

Doug is busy doing the bedroom, though has been outdoors a bit to do some strimming.
I am mostly busy clearing the area in the Potager where we are going to plant some fruit trees.

This is the bank they are going to go on.

After

There was a giant holly bush, with hawthorn and brambles for good measure, at the right of the picture - but Doug cut that down last week. We have burnt lots of the branches and mess - it took days and days to drag it all out and burn it.

We also took advantage of the nice weather to take the horses out. We took a route near the house that goes up through the woods then along the ridge above the house.

Unfortunately Owen had a bit of a sore foot so I walked down the road at the end as it is on the road it seems to bother him most.
