A wash out gathering in Avondale...

My dad and Uncle Tom in Avondale
The leaves were still a beautiful colour even in the rain.
The boys lying around in their pjs enjoying long breakfasts and star wars films...a much needed great October break.
The pair looking serious, they often sit like this together hugging each other. They are very close. 
Jonas playing the new piano...note juno in pink leggings crawling around in the back ground. 
All the scary faces Thorben knows!

Gold dust...manure...polytunnel work, turning circle nearly finished

We got manure from friends, amasing quality,  dry with straw mixed with it.

View of polytunnel from door, we have manured and covered 4 beds so far.

The work completed at the front, our diggerman built up our bank near the road. We have never been able to put hedges in so now we will be able to. He also buried rotten wood piles we had down at the shed. 

At the back, the turning circle now in use though it still has to get stone on it. Note steep banks. Any suggestions about what to plant would be lovely as grass but too much maintenance.

Our large stones at the entrance way to the field. 

The space beside the garage for our caravan and tiny home shed project of next year.
