Pine nut harvesting at sunset. The pines had dropped too soon and weren’t really ready, but at least we got to learn the process. It really made you realise why pine nuts are so expensive, harvesting them is such a labour intensive process! It makes you question a lot of the pricing on our food. Our food supply system is broken.

An old patê maker we just found on the grounds. Although the seal is broken so it’s not useable anymore we think it bodes well for what we are trying to do here, which is a lot about returning to traditional methods of food production.

Last night we had a visitor. They only left these little tracks across our dining table. We think they were trying to get to an ice bucket that had been left on the table and had melted leaving a nice source of cool drinking water for them, but who were they. The prints are so small, some thought it might be pip squeak, but they are even smaller than his prints, and squeak hadn’t got up by the time we found them so they couldn’t be him. Some kind of wild cat? One of the great joys of living around so much is trying to work out what everything is. We feel so honored to be the custodians of this beautiful place where nature has been allowed to reclaim. It shows how if we just nature will find a way. The insects will come back, we will be saved from and all the other creatures that depend on those insects for their life, including the human variety will be saved too. All we have to do is get out of the way and let nature do her thing 😊😊😊
