  1. I have just discovered the huge tree in our garden/land is in fact a lime tree. I understand the flowers are medisinal to making a tea of them etc anyone know of any details as to HOW to make the tea and or to dry the flowers. Under all the ivy and brambles we also found a very full Vine of many years growth as well as a couple of hazel nut trees. Icing on the cake..
  2. dont know if I am allowed to do this and I am not advertising but: we have had so much help from Sonia who runs this agency with her daughter that it is worth placing on a site. www.limousin-property-search.com Not only did she find our house for us but has helped with every step she even met us at the bank and interpreted for us. If you need a house in the Limousin area you could nt do better for service.

    Ivy

    We are about to move into our farmhouse (well caravan) that is covered in Ivy, the house hasnt been used since the early 80s. it also has huge amounts of brambles and the odd young tree. As a garden novice is there any better way to destroy ivy over a house other than just cutting it down and how hard will it be getting rid of about 1/2 acre of 4ft high brambles. We thought initially round-up or stronger ZBK Any help greatly received
  4. I have seen a few Ciroen H-Vans around and would love to own one when I get to France in a month or so. I have to buy a van to assist with the house refurb so it might be one of these. Anyone know of a "specialist" sellers or maintainers. I will be in the limousin in the area of Eymoutiers
