We make an early visit to Lefkada to collect our new biometric residence permits, required as a result of the B-word that shall not be mentioned. We weren’t expecting the call to say they were ready, and had started the day’s gravelling, and did some more after we got back, so the working day wasn’t wasted.
The worst bit of gravel shovelling - when there’s only a bit left at the bottom of the bag.
Finished! All the way round to the paved area. Now we have a neat path all round the house.
While we were in Lefkas we stopped at the garden centre for some flowers to prettify this bank (if they survive).
And to prettify this patch of gravel in front of the solarium. In retrospect, Rosemary might have been more sensible. We’ll have to see how they do.
This is one of the two 2-year old almond trees. This one didn’t produce any nuts last year (the other made two!), but is full of flowers this year.
The hugel beds turned potential apple orchard: self-seeded borage is rapidly providing ground cover -and lots of nectar for bees.
