What have we been up to? I’m not sure really, we seem to have been busy, how do people find time to go out to work?
We finally finished the road where it passes the pool to drive down to the stables.
We built a small wall with old railway sleepers and it looks good.
We have tried to improve the internet in the stables and first signs are good, we installed a 20db parabolic antenna. We need feedback from guests to see how it works.
After quite a wet winter we have had loads of Plums and Apricots and Pirkko has been busy making Jam that we intend to let you, the guests, try, it has been pretty popular already with some people buying extra to take home. We now have fresh Figs and Mulberries. We used to sell excess fruit to the local co-operative but the prices have dropped every year while they rise in the Supermarkets. This year our friend Pauline has been taking them to Albox car boot and they have sold well.
The Olives are coming on nicely and I’m sure it will be our biggest harvest, late November if you fancy helping to pick, not compulsory but it’s normally a fun day or 3 with a good lunch thrown in.
Spotify anyone?
