The view of Croagh Patrick from Kirstin and Michael's house where Alex's mum, Meike, spent the last month and passed yesterday is astounding on a good day. It was a spectacular weather day as we said our fare wells. We walked with the hearse down to the bridge over the creek. It was a lovely gesture.
Back at home, the polytunnel reached 47C so we left the door open all afternoon. The crop of peas, lettuce and broccoli has kept us in veggies all winter long. What a treat. The new log hives are ready to accept visiting colonies of bees. The vacancy signs are up.
The vineyard is still asleep but is starting to show signs of life. May the lifecycle begin anew.
