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...

long time no see


well, nobody complained... I am sort of stopping the blog, probably - we stopped farming as such... we even nearly sold the houses to a likeable dutch couple, who plan to do something similar to what we have been doing - but a slimy estate agent posing as a surveyor There was no survey done - he did not even ask about the water/waste etc etc or measured - anything at all) told them that the price we agreed on was to high, and so they withdrew - even though every source around seem to suggest that it was a fair price. Next time such buyers appear, we will make sure we have direct contact for all their questions and doubts, rather than agent machinations. never mind. We like living here - it feels more and more comfortable with the years - we got a new sink in the bathroom, a nice new dish-drainer... and the weather has been absolutely gorgeous, allowing us playing tennis nearly every day on the free and very decently sport-surfaced court in Ăšjpetre. Not that we losing any weight - for that we should also eat less... Jutka was here with all (4!!) the grandchildren and we survived a more pleasant than expected week with them, just before the school started. so, don't get surprised if no more posts - though I might still collect photos here, as I am lasy to find out how to do these albums elsewhere. ok, a bit agriculture - grapes and raspberry were incredible - but we were not home for nearly a month, so most of it rotted, managed to make about 10liter juice... planning to look up walnuts - were told the fall this year early - but didn't get round to it seems so busy...!!
