The river Artaut

The air was chilled when we woke this morning, a perfect day to weed the river.

The river Artaut runs along the front of our house, it’s only a small river, but we are obliged to keep it weeded. We normally recruit some helping hands from friends to get stuck in and help in the ‘fun’ of weeding it, but alas this year quarantine has put a stop to that. So Brian, with all the enthusiasm he could muster, threw himself into it, and by 1.30 had pretty much completed the task. Me… I was moral support. Fortunately the Commune will collect the weeds from the roadside and dispose of them.

“When we were buying the house, having the river right next to the house was not a concern at all, as I always knew that one day we would live near water. “
