We have just come back from a lovely week in Santorini.
Coming home they were a few jobs to catch up on – la piscine évidemment.
I went to open the skimmers to put some new chlore in them.
Imagine my surpirise to find this:

They were full of aiguilles de pin.
Last year it was these little devils that blocked up the pool and stopped it working properly.
But I cannot believe this many of them have fallen into the pool in eight days – especially after a couple of the neighbouring pine trees were chopped down last year.
I’m going to have to keep an eye on these needles.
