Moving the love bay

The 1st thing Doug and I bought together was a bay tree. Twenty years ago!
When we moved to France we moved it in with Aidan because it couldn't go in to storage with our other stuff. Aidan has inconsiderately moved in to a flat without a garden so we had to find it a new home - while we wait for someone to drive down to visit us in France.
I pressganged someone in to volunteering garden space and Aidan and I moved it last night.
Doug is convinced that our love depends on its survival, but I sincerly hope not. The poor thing has had a bit of a hard life and already come back from the dead once so maybe there is a chance. We have been trying to take a cutting for years buy bay trees seem very hard to take cuttings from. There is one that is still alive after around 3 years, but it has only grown 1 very small leaf in all that time.

Leaving Aidan's house

Nearly in its new home - needs moving in to the back garden though.

Nice (odd) pub near Aidan's new flat for a guiness afterwards

While Aidan had technically moved out of his house, he still had a load of pictures to move so we did them too in the van belonging to the 'car club' he has just joined.
