Here we go again

But better this time. Having yesterday dismantled the original ‘tonnelle’ that I erected on my land, today it was time to dig the second one out of my ‘abris’ and put that up. Having learned the lessons from last time I was able to modify my approach to minimise the strain imposed on its metal framework and I also moved it very slightly to get a flatter area for it to stand on. It took half a day or possibly a bit more, but I was very pleased with the results and here are some shots that I took at the end of the afternoon, starting with the view from the caravan

I don’t want to get out my ‘Sunday best’ parasols that I had at Plazac until my house is completed and for the time being I have put up a ‘cheapie’ circular parasol over my small round metal table that I got from CDiscount for only 20€ including delivery. I know what I said yesterday about cheap rubbish from China but this is really only intended to be a very temporary arrangement.

The wooden furniture will be staying in this ‘tonnelle’ and my large garden table will be remaining in there also until a get a second one. I actually found a brand new one today on Le Bon Coin and will be going to pick it up on Saturday morning. It is of much better quality than the two I originally acquired so will cost more but hopefully once my house is ready I’ll be able to hang onto it and keep using it in the future. We’ll see…
