So we we are now finally basking in true summer heat ……… in the mid to high twenties ……. a gentle breeze and the pool at 28º ……… delicious !
Progress on the major projects has come to a bit of a temporary halt …… while all sorts of smaller jobs have needed to be done …(lots of gardening too)….. but soon I hope work will start on roofing the Field Kitchen ……. ( its a big roof! ) …… and that will be a major step forward when completed. The tree-trunk staircase has finally had all its rope hand-rails added and is looking ……. well …… not bad I think ……. its certainly much easier to use with your hands full. Btw – you can just see the centre horizontal trunk and the two end supports of the field kitchen in the background of one of these shots …… that’s the roof that needs building.
We had a bit of a communications crash earlier this year ……. and my entry for the Moulin was accidentally dropped of the WWOOF website for a month or two ……. (all up and running again now) ……. but that meant that we had fewer enquiries for a while. So, unlike last year …….. we still have space for a few more guys this summer …. so …….. if you’re interested ……. read your way around this site and if you like what you see …. get in touch.
Yesterday we had a visit from a group of 6 Bhuddist monks …… and three nuns ……… they are friends of a guy who is staying here at the moment …… and came for a picnic and a visit ………. they were a very international group and really cool ……… they included a former policeman, a war photographer, a former mercenary and so on …….. it was an amazing visit. They had driven four hours to get here ……. and had to be back by nightfall ……. so it was way too short ……. but they loved the place and the project and were fantastic guests to have around.
That’s it for now ……. more in September.
