Workaway

This is Laura Tassi an Essex Maid transplanted to the Gars near Mont-de-Marsan after 40 years in Cologne. She had to leave Germany when, after 30 years living in an affordable apartment in the old quarter, the developers moved in and forced her out. As an elderly freelancer she could not find any other accommodation in the area so was constrained to move to this house in a remote village in France. She did not leave the German abruptness behind her though, which at first disguised her goodwill and generosity, though that soon became evident with all the little treats she bought me to eat!
What she had not realised fully was how overgrown the acre plot had become with running bamboo; and how difficult it was to remove. Having made a good start with a bulldozer she is now left with small pockets of growth and regrowth. So here I am clearing it all away. Before and after photos to prove that I am not slacking!Les mer
