Whilst I was away in Europe quite a lot happened around and in our new house.

I say around our house, because the neighbours wanted to get rid of some of their trees, and Michael Edwards, our builder, also wanted to chop them down to allow better acess.

So, they are gone.

This leaves a much better view of the house, but in some respects this is too much.  It looks monstrous!

Seen from afar, the house looks a really huge building, and brings home to us just what an undertaking this was.

This is comparable to views that I have previously  posted, and doesn’t it look bare?  We will be planting plenty of new trees, though, which will look considerably better.
