The other night the local dogs were barking furiously, when I went for a walk next day I discovered that a wild boar had been having a digging session, just inside the village. I can't imagine what could have been so interesting for a boar but it has made a lovely mess.
My vegetables continue to do well, I have had loads of tomatoes and have made plenty of soup. I have also found a great recipe for using tomatoes and courgettes. Yesterday I found a great supply of mushrooms, I ate some for lunch today and have frozen some. I went for a walk this morning to look for more but I couldn't find any. I think that that was the field that had early mushrooms last year, so I will keep watching.
I am tidying my top plot and I have found a use for some of the roof tiles that I will shortly have an excess of.
I don't think I will ever pass muster as a builder but I think they will make the plot look tidier. It is a sloping plot and I have never tried to flatten it but now I am making small terraces. I will also use some to define the paths which are just a weedy mess at the moment. October is going to be a busy month there is a lot of tidying to do.
30th October
Autumn is really with us, we had the first frost last night. I have cleaned and cleared, ready for winter and my freezer is full, this really is a good life!
