Too much land, Peter said.
We heard about it from Caroline, our lovely and understanding Estate Agent. We said “No”, but she persuaded us to take a look as we were driving past. A lovely light and airy house with a great view. Love at first sight. So we bought it, and the 7 acres of land. Not in the best state of repair, as we were to discover, and there must have been a garden once, or possibly a vineyard, in the days before phylloxera, but it hadn’t been tended for years.
So this is what this blog is about. We are slowly re-discovering and recreating a garden, in this “too much land” in SW France, and this is a record of what was there before, and what we have done, and are still doing, with a bit of help from our friends!
