Day 274 – oops upset the neighbours……
The warm weather continues with 29 degrees today, so at one point we crash on the terrace with a very cold bottle of wine and some friends. It seemed a good idea at the time, to cut the neighbours bushes back that overhang and block our light (after all it is autumn, the light is … Continue reading
