'Ang on. Concrete and a back yard at Chateau Vinny?
Shooorly not? :
... well. it's the concrete awaiting the carrara marble for the back yard next to the double-flight of steps leading down to the western lawns and on to the terrace with the gazebo looking over the upper lake towards the grotto and the Greek temple...
We do things in style in Shepherd's Bush, you know...
Surrey Police said many drivers suffered damaged tyres after the road near Leatherhead fell in early this morning. Traffic inched forward on the motorway causing a snake of traffic around 15 miles long.
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Ah vindepays, you beat me to it... I was just loading up a pic of Château Vinteuil, with the comment:
Those balustrades don't support themselves, you know....

Weather as forecast in these 'ere parts - lots of rain this morning, easing off around noon and dry with sunny patches in the afternoon.
What was not forecast was that, at noon precisely, the rain stopped, but took an encore half-an-hour later, just as I'd got past the half-way stage in the "healthy walk" between my house and the nearest Post Office!

A mixed week - today is so warm, 14.4° and lovely sunshine, tipped it down all night and yesterday. I've been preoccupied due to garden min-makeover having waited 5 weeks for workmen it's finally taken place during the three dry days this week. There's been felling, thinning, clearing and the hazel has been coppiced. Finally I have my uninterrupted view back again. Lots of final clearing (raking up) for me to do this weekend, so hope it'll stay dry for a few days.
Bit worried about the snow in Eastern US. Don't we get what they have 10 days later?
Down on my knees earlier in the week, individually picking up Ash sticks and Lilac dropped in a Zen like manner in my raked Dog Zen gravel garden....I prefer my own random....control....
Cold here ....electric blue crochetted mohair blanket seeing action....

eightho!! How lovely to see you once again! Well, I couldn't exercise my own random control - too much wood cutting and getting up A ladders and swinging from the branches, plus I don't have the equipment! The guy that did it - never seen such a collection of Stihl tools, 4 chainsaws of various sorts, a telescopic pole pruner and hedge trimmer ..... A lovely pile of logs was produced ready for - his Mum's woodburner!
I too have a tiny Zen patch but I forget to rake it in mystical circles .......
OT: Still a lovely day, sun just producing golden rays as it sinks behind the hill.
