One of the things we loved as soon as we saw the house was the garden. I thought I better do some posts about it as it has started featuring heavily in my life again the last few days with some gorgeous spring like weather!
It was pretty bare when we viewed the house as it was the end of winter. By the time we got back to France in May it looked like a jungle and scared the life out of us! Here are some photos of what we had to work and deal with!
The figs outside the back door!
The greenhouse all set up and ready to go (not – but at least the bones are there!).
Looking back up at the house from the greenhouse door:
Stood on the terrace (next to the house in the first photo) looking back down the garden (yes we do have our own windmill!!):

And left again (our land ends where the tree line is):
Some massive ancient yukkas at the front:
Wow that makes me exhausted just looking at that!
What an exciting adventure you have before you! It’s absolutely charming (and the little guy running around is pretty cute too).
It’s going to look so good when you work on it.
Thanks Deborah – it is quite charming and I kept finding little areas that were hidden at first look! There is even a little fairy house at the bottom!
