harvest fest

I stole Lily's blog-report about the Kiskassa Harvest festival, with pictures (Lily is the latest hostel-guest turned wwoofer from California) but before I copy her link, a nutshell about this past 4 weeks - the holiday with the old girls was as good as ever, with more hanging around the pool and doing nothing much but reading and talking about nothing much... we even managed to fit a few games of scrabble. The boys had a chance to make very nice raspberry jam while I was away (I eat them all otherwise). The sad news is that Cat1 died, while I was away (on the day I left for the holiday) it was very ill for awhile, looking very thin but eating and sleeping all day, not showing discomfort as such. The larder is quite full regardless of the failure of some of the stuff due to the lack of a few months of rain. We had more friends from UK, Steve and Marlene, so we just had to go to the baths, had to eat cakes and had to have a good time again. While we were stressed for Martin for the Canadian permits to arrive, which they did eventually, so he's been tasting his new life in Toronto, enjoying the nice apartment Sharon found, organized, while she also had started her new job. The sheep spent about a month in Ujpetre with a ram, and now Hannibal is entertaining a nanny goat from the same place, hopefully a start of a cooperation. and now about the harvest festival via Lily: http://roamingcuriosity.com/2012/09/30/kiskassa-harvest-festival/ lots of fantastic pictures of strudel and kürtőskalács making there!
