Heavy lifting – done

For now anyway! After retrieving my pair of outdoor tables from my ex-neighbour, Chantal’s, garden yesterday I only needed to bring my plant pots over from Victor and Madeleine’s garden, where they’ve been kept safe since last June, in order to be self-contained again. It was another beautiful day today so ideal to get the job done.

To be honest, I wasn’t much looking forward to it because two long tubs and two tall planters are made out of fine concrete and are very heavy and when I moved them from Plazac, I had some help getting them onto my small trailer. This time around I had to do it by myself but I managed it and now all of my pots are secure in the small space behind my caravan and ready to be used again, which I’m thinking of doing when I return from my impending trip back to the UK. More on that later.

Last but not least was my little white statue of Venus rising from the waves which became quite a local landmark at Plazac because it was how all of the delivery drivers found my old house. For now she has pride of place standing at the corner of my ‘tonnelle’.

She won’t always be there though. Eventually she will be restored and repainted and given a new position outside my new house where probably she will become as equally well-know as before. But that will be much later when the house has been completed and there will be no chance of her being damaged because she has survived the long journey from the UK to Plazac and now to Fleurac in one piece and that’s how I want her to stay 😉
