The situation wasn’t dismal until the police moved in. Noisy, yes. Contorversial, certainly. Embarrassing to the uni’s admin, of course.
No one died.
Left alone -or better ignored, it would’ve been resolved in due time -probably after the first thunderstorm of spring or the end of the semester when students usually disperse.
The former barnyard is our market garden. The soil there is magical thanks to a generation of livestock -once we cleared off the forest of 12ft tall ragweed that had taken over when it was abandoned!
The spoilt hay from the barn is actually pretty broken down, so no worries about burning the veggies. The ragweed was replaced by a thicket of tomatoes.
Zut alors!
