You may be wondering
what we’ve been up to, since the end of November was the first month that we
haven’t updated the blog since 2009! Well… we’ve been visiting remote islands
Driving 900
horsepower jet boats
Going on journeys
with Max the German Journeyman
Doing yoga on the most magnificent, yet deserted, white sandy beaches
Talking bollox on the
beach
Walking through
ancient rainforests
Breaking the rules
Witnessing the 2012
family of swallow chicks take their first flight
Having close
encounters with the local mammals and their young
Climbing summits with
awesome friends to experience places that feel like the top of the world
Lighting lots of campfires
Reminiscing with
beautiful friends
Singing
Dancing around the
campfire
Dancing on the deck
of the new house
Dancing on the beach
Kissing and cuddling
Considering forming a
band
Having afternoon
nanna naps
Looking at friends
through, and in the lens of, what seem like rose coloured glasses
We can almost hear your shock… yes we’ve had some time
off! And there is absolutely no doubt that we deserved it. It’s been a huge year
and an enormous effort over the past few months to get the house ready for the
strawbale workshop that started on 29 November. This earth building adventure
has continued to become more about the people than the structure itself, and
those people will always be a big part of the home long after we have finished
enjoying our time in it. Words can’t possibly describe what the strawbale
workshop was like. They say a picture speaks a thousand words, so hopefully
this series that we’ve put together for you will speak volumes.
