Candy Greenthumbs is back!

3 words to sum up these holidays: sun, work and garden (yup there's a nasty word hidden here ;-)

We've worked a lot, about 7 to 8 hours everyday, Martin working in the morning and I in the afternoon.
Still working in the living-room, working on the walls and the fireplace. Trust me, it will look good at the end! ;-)

We've chosen new doors and windows too, we should get them installed in the next months. But we've also lost contact with our mason. He's never available, we've to find a new one. Sheaaaaat!

The best part, regarding the house, was the garden this time. We have plnated our first trees, and it was fantastic (and damn expensive!)
I absolutely wanted a palm tree and a cherry blossom ... and I got them!!!! (do you know the cost of a palm tree, small, like 1m50, here? 250 euros minimum!!!!!!! Jeez)
We've also planted (grabbing my dictionnary):
a Japanese camellia
a lilac
an apple tree
a pear tree
a laurel (laurier-sauce)
more bamboo (don't you love the music of the bamboos in the wind?!!)
a butterfly tree (no idea about the translation of arbre à papillons!)
periwinkles (pervenches)
sweat peas (pois de senteur)
nasturtiums (capucines)
more roses too, old ones with a wunnerful perfume.

(happy sigh)

A pity we won't see our garden in a few days, there are already many flowers to come!
We made a good job with the garden, I'm rather proud of it :)

We had sun the whole week, with temperatures that could reach 26°C in the shadow. In Bretagne, in April!!!
lol
Lola and Loup could run nekkid in the garden under water almost everyday, they had the time of their life!

Really it was a good week, even if a bit too expensive ;-)

Here come the pictures below ...
(they've lost much quality once put on dailymotion, a pity!)
