The above was taken in May 2003 when we decided to buy.
Those below were taken in late October and early November 2003.
They were taken mid-morning (about 10am I think) when the winter sun was still quite low,
hence a lot of shadows in many of the pictures.
The first three show the main house. In the right hand picture you can see the bakery in the background.
This is the bakery. The bread oven is the older part to the right. The roof needs repair - which it will get once the more modern part attached to it has been done.
A couple of views of the end of the barn. The entrance to the property is at the left hand side of the first picture, the lane from the road can be seen just beyond..

These were taken over the May Bank Holiday at the beginning of May 2004. The wistaria was out ...
... and so was the cherry blossom ...
... and lots of aubretia - here's some.
And a newly planted bed under the bird table.

Some pictures taken over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May 2004 - just after the new porte-fenetre was installed. (The old front door was rotten and warped - not weather proof at all!)
