Holidays are here....lazy days

Summer holidays are here. no commitments..lazy breakfasts and endless days ahead of us. We feel more relaxed already.


On advice from Suzie Cahn. our permaculture gardener friend, we have got a pond dug....we have a spring piped into the corner of our field from the mountain behind us so we started to fill it and it held the water with no lining.....brilliant news for us.


Our digger man was great he managed to avoid damaging our alder trees which are on one side of the pond.It is in the planning stages really, we need to put in an outlet and maybe a stream section...of course fencing too as the kids are young...but we saw our first dragon flies dancing over it this morning....it was lovely to see.


Polytunnel progress...Axel in my sling here....the place is bulging with growth....carrots, beans, pease, chard, beetroot, courgettes....



Broad beans on left, peas on right...the kids are eatting them like sweets.

Granny and Elke camping together
