Me old bamboo...

A neighbour called to introduce himself last week which was nice, as we are finding with living here, it's very much a case of you scratch our back and we'll scratch yours! John had bought an old farm with 25 acres and many out-buildings about half a mile away on the other side of the Vezere and needed some mature bamboo for screening some areas around his property....help yourself was my very quick reply!

At the front of the house is a very large mass of 6 metre+ high bamboo which over time has spread towards the road blocking some of the view toward La Roque, John arrived a few days later with his own digger, trailer and helping hands and over the day took away a lot of the bamboo, roots and all making a big difference to the outlook, especially from the Roque Terrace gite and main house.

In return for the free bamboo he levelled the area and supplied new top soil for the cleared area...result!!
