		<title>The frustrating July garden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is all growing beautifully, but except for the courgettes, nothing is ready to eat. Won&#8217;t be back for quite a while, so hopefully the neighbours will enjoy&#8230; The tomatoes, of which the three types I put in have all done well&#8230; And the pumpkin vine is rampant&#8230; &#8230; and showing real signs of productivity [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morvan, then and now&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Extracts from Le Morvan, [A District of France,] Its Wild Sports, Vineyards and Forests; with Legends, Antiquities, Rural and Local Sketches by Henri de Crignelle (1851). Pictures from the 21st century. &#8220;In the woods &#8230; the storms there are sometimes terrible, and, like those of the tropics, arise and terminate with wonderful rapidity. These tempests, [...]]]></description>

		<title>My new transport &#8211; an electric bicycle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s 17km from my house in the Morvan into Autun, the nearest big centre, and 24km to Etang-sur-Arroux, where the gare has lots of useful trains. The means to get to both is obvious &#8211; bicycle, and Tour de France cyclists &#8211; or perhaps even Dunwich Dynamoers (must do that one of these days) would [...]]]></description>

		<title>First catch your fly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Building work involving lots of concrete &#8211; piercing through a stone wall and then putting in lintel and architraves &#8211; left me with a pollution of flies inside the house that had just about reached the unlivable level. (Response from Twitter suggested this is a common phenomenon, with concrete and plaster, although no one came [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8216;Fete du crapiaux&#8217; at St Prix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact that I can&#8217;t eat crepes (gluten), the thought of a pleasant ride (10km or so from La Grande-Verriere) through glorious countryside on Sunday, with a country fair at the end of it, was irresistible. And I didn&#8217;t regret those hills &#8211; it was a lovely local, social occasion, just like country things [...]]]></description>

		<title>Permaculture and fruit porn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, just down the road from me, I visited the most amazing garden &#8211; a permaculture garden that&#8217;s just laden with fruit and bulging with life (they can even grow cabbages without slug pellets because the ducks eat the attackers). It&#8217;s the home of Uni Vers Terre, (website now down, but hopefully temporarily) where they [...]]]></description>

		<title>A perfect picnic spot in La Grande-Verriere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Should I give it away &#8211; oh well, I might as well, since even if you&#8217;ve occupying it when I want it I can just walk a bit further downstream&#8230; If you head out of town towards St-Leger-Sous-Beauvray, corss over the bridge, then immediately on your left is the turnoff, and the &#8220;official&#8221; picnic spot [...]]]></description>

		<title>A visit to Nevers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What happens to a town when its heyday was the 16th century? When everything&#8217;s been downhill since then. Nevers, in Nievre, is a place you can find out. The ducal palace, a piece of Renaissance perfection, was finished in 1595, and that was pretty well the final high point of the town&#8217;s architectural (and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morvan encounters: a pine marten and a white-toothed shrew</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I bought Les Mammiferes Sauvages Du Morvan, by Daniel Sirugue, I thought that I was being a bit hopeful: really, how many wild mammals was I likely to see? Well in 18 months of occasional visits I&#8217;m not doing too badly (and not just the obvious foxes, rabbits and hares), and the book has [...]]]></description>
