Today was the day to collect water from the Lavoire..where the village used to do their washing. Now people collect water for their gardens.
The water was siphoned out into two water butts on the back of the tractor.
(After friend's son jump started it on the allotment with his car!)
Slowly back to the allotment, trying not to spill a drop!
We saw wood ants running across the chemin.
Mint with meadow brown butterflies... getting close enough, still got long enough and in focus was impossible!!
Son lifted two rows of potatoes while Friend watered and I picked brambles.
Then back up to the house past a garden gate
A quick shopping trip...just to Aldi, everywhere else is closed as it is a holiday.
Then lunch...and a rest indoors as the temperature rose to 38⁰ outside....then supper and back to the allotment for watering as the temperature dropped ten degrees
