Beltane

The Fire has come! Ceratonia finally has electricity!! Wow... Running water what a delight! Light at night, candles fab, but sometimes it is great to simply switch on the light. So we now have a fridge and the washing machine has been very busy today. Still can't believe we went 6 months without a fridge.. Overall the whole experience has shown me how little we actually need. But we are very happy to have this amazing luxury. The Solar has also been installed, so we are having fabulous showers heated by the Sun.

As always busy in the gardens and this week the Cacti garden has had a lot of attention. The vegetables continue to grow and be eaten! More trees have been bought and many holes dug and stones sorted. Irrigation getting closer and terrace ready for its final layer. Render for outside walls starting next week. Visitors galore giving abundant help and supportive feedback. Before all the excitement of power, I was going to share my experiences with warty toads, hares and foxes! The wildlife around here is abundant and ever changing as the temperature changes. Amazing bird song and exotic lizards- Corey will mange to get a shot at some point. And the Sun... is hot and although tiring gives an amazing depth of inner strength.




Having trouble putting photos on! Will try again later.
