Christmas is coming! Here is a photo of our wonderful huge storage shed - our third building and a vital addition to the Airstream and the portakabin. This shed (put up last year) makes life possible for us here. It has greenhouse tube heaters fitted inside to keep the moisture level down and contains all our 'stuff'. Two big racks of second hand industrial shelving hold our stores. A big chiller unit serves as a rat-proof store for food, together with metal filing cabinets which hold flour, pasta, rice etc - again to prevent rodent infestation! This Christmas we decided to increase the contents considerably as we had guests coming for a week - we bought a second hand range cooker and a chest freezer on ebay to make a good sized kitchen inside - after all we had to cook a goose and the caravan cooker could not cope! |

| Come on in! |

| Our goose prepared for the oven, stuffed and pricked and ready to go... |

| Inside the kabin. The woodburner is lit......Happy Christmas! |
 |
| I have started a pottery class and this is one of my first creations - this year Christmas had a nordic theme...lots of reindeers and snowflakes! |
| A magical Christmas! We were comfortable, warm and delighted with our beautiful home. Over the week of festivities we ate potatoes, onions, carrots, parsnips, brussel sprouts, kale, purple sprouting broccoli, spinach, leeks, pak choi and loads of salad from the Patch. We ate broad beans, peas, fennel, courgettes and tomato sauce from the freezer. We celebrated a year of abundant produce and look forward to the next one - after all, this next year should see some fruit from the six little trees standing like sentries in the frosty ground. Happy New Year! |
