Liberated 2
It wasn't just the bananas that were liberated! Humans too, as the pool comes out of it "hivernage" and the solar heating gets to work (We installed 26 sq m of south-facing panels on the barn roof). The water temperature was up to 26˚C today from 13 a week ago!

Liberated 1Beginning of May and suddenly it's spring - I cut down the banana trees in Nov by sawing through the trunks about 1.5m above ground. They've been wrapped in 10cm of fibreglass insulation and a layer of plastic to stop them freezing. By the end of February the new growth was pushing up the protection - here they are finally liberated and looking a bit battered. This is what they were like last June and then we had bananas in July! - you can see the Sully château pigeon loft in the background - and the contrail of plane going towards Paris in the Geneva-Paris corridor (right over our heads).

Prelude, Blue Footed Bobby & Fugue in B-flat major
Kenneth Jonsson asked me if he could use my Galapagos booby photos for the wonderful music video arrangement of Bach's famous fugue. Here's a still. Download the whole video here and leave a comment. I love it - it reminds me of Terry Gilliam's superb animations for Monty Python.
