Visitors

We have had some lovely guests this year in the guesthouse...as always...
But this year some unusual ones too.....

He/She has to be one of my favourites!
This toad I found living for several days beneath the damp, cool shade of our courgettes....what a beauty!
The colours were amazing but don't really show how much so here....































Maybe it was attracted to our 'pond' which is coming along ...slowly....

Hot hot hot!

Temperatures have again been high this year...well into the 40's!

Rain has fallen but too little in our region although some areas have had considerable amounts....

However as always the garden hangs on in there....

The first apricots from our smallest tree ....absolutely delicious!!!



The others were all picked and made into brandy 40 litres this year ..so a good harvest for us.


Infact it seems to be the fruits that are having the best year.Blackberries are big and juicy and our new raspberry canes have even produced a little ...

























So many apples that we have drafted in a few recruits to help with the picking...sorry eating.....
