Ecofarmer

re-settled in Hungary from Rochdale, Lancs, England, and into a little village, doing a bit of greenish farming hoping for a quiet life... but stuff just happens...

nutshell


lots of comings and goings, Alan is off to see his dad who needs help while sister is away and is in hospital at present, hopefully home soon. Health check-ups all good. We had a week of rain - unusual, seems over. Made cherries finish early, but we managed to eat tons. boully made some nice photos, nice to see how they're supposed to be...

spring vista


Budapest, Mothers' day, and various places, all good - got 6 new ducklings and 20 little chickens - this is downsizing a la us... not to mention that mother rabbit should deliver little ones any day... well, it -is- spring. Pete and Boully are here and putting in good wwooferings. We picked the first very nice early crispy cherries. I think I am going on a cherry diet. Eating nothing else for a week should do me good in every possible way. Started the FutureLearn "what is the mind" course - so far so-so. Very difficult to discuss with other students when there are hundreds of them. fotos are random stuff from what I just said - Budapest Danube bank, Kiraly utca, shop sign Alan liked, and mostly more spring Kiskassa. Oh, we also have cucumbers in the polytunnel, everything looks good, had some rain, and as the Hungarian saying goes, May rain worth gold.

peaceful Sunday

mild, bit cloudy, all is well. Walked to shop, about twenty people waiting patiently for shopkeepers, who were supposed to open 20 minutes before. I just walked home - it is just the pre-breakfast exercise, with only soda water as the alibi buy - annoying this taking people for shit. anyway, yesterday had lovely afternoon in Pusztakisfalu, and Alan was promised a passage on a 12 meter sailsboat from Holland to Denmark, by some Dutch people we met who also have house in Pusztakisfalu. So he is a happy one. The music was nice in the tiny church, then the mulling about with cakes and wine among the trees in the village green. back here, I think it'll be veggie curry today - turned out dhal-ish, rather good, if unusual. Magdi salvaged more walnuts from the mess of the stables, (that now looks better than ever) she's fantastic. I might be shelling an other lot. Hm - could do it outside... (did tons.) oh, and about a hundred classic Mercedes cars passed our house in a leasurely pace with about half a km or more between them, as part of some sort of old-merc-club countrywide caravan, touching only chosen pretty places like ours. I forsaken lovely sharon-camera lately, as mobile so handy, even if the quality sucks. photos all were made in Pusztakisfalu.
