Spring 2010


Well, the snow has gone and spring has arrived in Colondannes. The winter has been very cold and long, as it has over most of Europe and the UK, but at long last the garden is alive and during our Easter visit the grass needed to be cut and we gave it a feed to try to kill as many of the weeds as possible, with Verdone. It really does seem to work. We did the normal bit of weeding, which really seems to be diminishing and maybe all of the hard work is taking effect
The Moles have been active, but only a little and we saw no new mole holes during the recent visit. I am sure they will return so we bought some explosions to put down the new holes, when they return.
We were again invited by our french neighbour for dinner again and had a lovely evening. She made good use the chicken she killed in the Autumn and they made a lovely meal.
Our visit past by all too quickly yet again and we look forward to the planned visits in May.
