The old bakery: part two

After nine months of restrictions on travel - no doubt necessary, but all the same frustrating - we have made it back to France. The grass was trimmed, but everywhere else was a  jungle. The work is ongoing, but my priority was to clear the new building and its surroundings, including the path, which was almost invisible under all the rampant growth. To be reminded of the mess that it was, scroll down to a post dated February this year. Here's what it looked like when we first arrived: crowded in by grass and weeds, and the path almost invisible!

Here's what it looks like now: not only weed free (more or less, and of course not for long!) but also beautified by flowers and solar lights. And also the view up the lower drive, strimmed and mowed.

The weeded path (needing constant vigilance!) 

One of two fabulous 'Vanille Fraise' hydrangeas, undaunted by so many months of neglect.
