Welcome to the Distraction from the Day Job

Some people take to their hammocks to read books, or get blotto down the pub.

But when I down tools I prefer to go hell for leisure in the garden.

This blog describes the daily fun of taming a 17 acre chestnut farm in the mountains of the Ardeche. And turning a lot of it into a garden.

Coming soon – a redesigned website with bells and whistles, maps and charts. But for now, it’s just garden prose and pictures and occasional sightings of snoozing Cat.
