Finishing off the projects

Waterhole is done with lights and game camera.
Waiting for visitors now.

Our new bush home

The plants are doing very well now , in the beginning of winter

Game feeding spot

Started with bush cleaning then digging , materials supply ( sand from the river bed ) , two days work and the waterhole is done as promised. Quite a job but worth it. Sunset and whiskey as reward.

Back to farming

Great feeling to be back at the farm after few weeks and even better when the planned jobs are done and everything is running smoothly.
We’ve finished the generator shed, planted a Macadamia nut tree behind the bakkie and some shade trees for the future swimming pool area, cleaned up and paint the fruit trees, spray them with organic fertilizer. The weather is ideal and the work gets done with great pleasure.

Regardless of severe drought in our area this year, the water level in the borehole is not dropping. So now is time to give something back, the next project: a water hole outside the fence with lick and feeding setup for the game.

....and I'm getting better at cooking too...

Farming in style...

As usually I'm farming about two - three days a week and what a pleasure is lately !
I've done some upgrades on the solar power system and added a generator for back-up.
Learning to weld and cooking too...

The best cooking I've ever done

Bungalow project done !

The bungalow is finally done and we couldn't be happier.

We’ll definitely spend more time in the nature, our food for soul. The field’s scent is already unbelievable, it feels like a dream. Is this the heaven? Where else the poo parlor smells like lavender naturally?

CCTV installed

The ultimate flower pot

The bungalow project progress

We are impressed with the progress and the quality of the workmanship. We even brought an inspector all the way from Belgium ( and paid her in passion fruit ...not yet ripped )

 

The bungalow project

New project undergoing: the old barn reconstruction into a bungalow. As the agricultural venture is progressing beautifully we thought that a place to stay will be a great add to the lavender field.
Here it is our well organized building team and how the barn looks now:
