GREAT EXCAVATIONS feat. Josh

I finally let the well get the better of me and had no choice but to go all out and locate the water. Just like all responsible adults, I attached a rope to the child before sending him to work. There's no doubt he has the working gene as he was clearing rock at a rate of 1 meter per hour.

We are now down to the water level and ideally need to go down another meter, but that will be a job for a sunny day. Until then we have heaved a large slab of rock over the entrance to keep out any unsuspecting animals.

There's been plenty of work going on over here during the last few weeks, unfortunately most of it has been for other people. Next week will see the start of the school holidays so from there on in we should start making some progress around the house.

Child labour, I love it! Down the mines and up the chimney with the other two?

This is too funny! Sadly my own slave labour is too grown up to obey. What a trooper though. Loving your site - Janine at www.thegoodlifefrance.com
