		<description><![CDATA[A couple of years ago our neighbour &#8216;accidentally&#8217; climbed across a ditch and cut down our 200 year old oak tree &#8211; by the time I had seen something was going on and charged across the field ranting and raving it was too late to stop it. Likewise we are all too familiar with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we bought our house in south-west France nine years ago people seemed to talk of little else but termites and the dangers they presented to house and home. Tales abounded of armies of termites creeping underground and devouring everything in their way, with a special preference for house foundations and woodwork. It was said [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing I&#8217;ve noticed this year that I don&#8217;t remember seeing before is enormous flocks of birds circling around all the time &#8211; many thousands of palombes (wood-pigeons) fill the air in great sweeping flocks. And a very impressive sight it is too. The palombe is also the most hunted bird in France, with special [...]]]></description>

Our stories about having nowhere to put a stable worked quite well for a couple of years, until one day in the &#8216;shed&#8217; she noticed that there were feeding trays and the [...]]]></description>

Very pretty indeed and it was a pleasure to come across when i was out cycling yesterday. Mrs B tells me they are called &#8216;Cosmos&#8217; flowers and quite a [...]]]></description>

Personally I manage to avoid that by claiming I need to cut the grass -coincidentally this mowing takes me exactly the same amount of time as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This isn&#8217;t the first time I&#8217;ve written about hornets and probably won&#8217;t be the last. Despite having a lovely picture and a few explanatory words at hornets in France, this blog and its old comments about hornets continue to draw the crowds, ever fascinated by the growing threat that hornets apparently present to us sensitive [...]]]></description>

Hunting, fishing and living in caves were what passed for entertainment, as seen in the paintings of the Lascaux Caves and numerous other prehistoric sites in [...]]]></description>
