Early January 2015
After our travels and the excitements of Christmas and New Year, early January is a nice time to relax and plan the year ahead. It is too cold to get the final coat of plaster on the new East wall - if new plaster freezes it will flake off, apparently - and anyway, it's just too cold to be up the scaffolding. A lot of our time is spent gathering wood from around the land. There are olive branches lying around all over the place, so we drag them up to the saw horse or the chopping block and make heaps of stove sized pieces.
In between, we have been doing some very long walks, supporting Amanda, who is off to Kilimanjaro for her 50th birthday in February, and wants do do 4 hour mountain treks with any people and dogs willing to go along.
One of our walks took us past Pete and Lin's place and we took the chance to see Rowan and Paris' updated tree house - it's looking good but they're in the UK at the moment, avoiding the icy weather!
