we have justin's mum, marian visiting us for a week and a new helpx from Carolina USA - hello Aaron! The children are running around Campagne-sur-Aude today with all the local schools. We are busy sowing new seeds from the kokopelli lot, the weeds are growing mad so lots of gardening being done. the weather improves, sun shining - it will soon be too hot in the midday sun for anyone except us mad english and our dogs. The eggs are still sitting in the incubator; looking good, although that is hard to tell! btw that is a toad that beeps and the worm is famous already!
