Stormy weather

Yet another storm system is passing through today. We're on the edge, as we so often are. And we have to go out in it; the Peugeot is going into the garage this morning to have its timing belt replaced. It's something that has to be done every ten years or so.

The same beach as yesterday. Ile d'Oléron, May 2008.

The other weather-related pain in the butt thing is that our landscape contractor sent us an email yesterday saying his crew would be here this morning to start the hedge trimming. I don't know if the wind will force them to cancel or not (they've worked in yucky weather before), but if they do cancel, who knows when (or if) they'll be able to come back?

  1. Ah, Snap! Our hedging contractor will arrive shortly to start work on the field hedges. We do a third each winter, which is around 8 miles, he leaves a wonderful 6foot A shaped finish. The snow is receding this morning, rain instead, goodo! And daffodils are in good bud. Hope you both enjoy a Healthy and Happy New Year. Tasha too. Pats. 🚜
