Wwoofer Simon May

Simon stayed for a week - a short break from his course at the Sorbonne in the history of art ...

He arrived immaculately dressed:


... but that soon changed ....

He initially decided to design and build a chicken house.  He researched the topic, did some sketches, sourced the tools he needed and available wood on the land and set to work ...

 
.... a project to be continued ...
 
He helped to harvest the willow crop
and planted cuttings through plastic
to create new shrubs ...

Cutting harvested willow into
batons ......
 

He harvested laurel from the land,
tied them into bundles and then
hung them to dry in the living
room ...........

He spent the rest of his short stay helping to construct a greenhouse from recuperated pallets and plastic ......







Simon at Leisure


Ever the philosopher - here wondering whether the leek
 still exists if he closes his eyes

An accomplished and confident
cook ...........

A charming if rather strange smile ...

Preparing crepe batter ....

Preparing to toss the crepe ...

 

... et voila ....
 
Kitchen camaraderie ...

Simon the musician ....

Thank you for all the shared songs ...

A la prochaine ......
