So happy we waited five years and got lucky enough to be able to buy this beautiful piece of land.
Digging on a much smaller scale than what was to follow, just to plant the seed potatoes that someone kindly offered us because they had too many. Or rather, taking a break from digging.
The view to the Col de Bonhomme and the Aiguille de Pennaz. Walk in that direction for a day or so and you’re in Italy. That’s what we did our first summer living here, at the start of our eight day walk around the whole Mont Blanc range, following the classic Tour de Mont Blanc trail.

Don’t like to show the damage to the earth but watching Yoann at work was fascinating, he made this massive machine move like a ballet dancer. Promise we’ll put the earth back to as close as possible what it was like before, once the house is in.
A peaceful moment at the end of the day. Autumn is drawing in.
