My hydrangeas maintained their blue shades but I was blown away by your burgundy bush. Your garden absolutely shines with your love and attention. I swear that boulder is bigger than my retirement house!! And your quilt is absolutely fabulous. Cannot wait to see the top all done.

Like you, we're also in France and also lose power, during storms and we wanted something powerful enough to keep the freezer going, until the power's back on. We'll make good use of it outside too. Thank you for the discount code, it will be a solid investment.

Thank you for this video! I am very interested in the Aferiy power station. I should be better prepared for hurricanes. I would probably only use the power station when the electricity is out. Do I just store the power bank and the solar panels in the cellar until I need them? Once it is fully charged, does it hold the electricity until it is needed during an emergency, or do I need to routinely charge it? I know NOTHING about maintaining / storing power banks (and I am nervous about lithium ion batteries). But I think it is a wise idea to invest in a power bank for emergencies. I would welcome any helpful info! Thanks.
