We have naturally gone crepuscular this year; I think it’s partly because the first cry from the geese is about 4.30 am.  So, 4.30am has become our natural waking time.  We like to talk and have a cup of tea (or two) in the morning, plan our day and then we are out on the farm early.  Look at what’s happening!!  I don’t recognise the place…the bush has come down and we can actually see all around us!!  Ha-Ha!!

There’s Gnome charging ahead and disappearing into the bushes:

I guess I am taking pictures just for our benefit because the reader is probably none the wiser.  But you have to realise that we were practically living in bush for the last 6 months because we have had mass machinery break-down.  So, let me indulge myself with a few more pictures:

Oooooh:

Ahhhhh:

We even found a very spiny bamboo that has grown up (into an adult size):

We have re-claimed fruit trees too:

Also, Gnome is busy with other projects.  He woke up the other day and said:

“That’s it!!  That’s it!!  Algae is the answer to everything!!”

He went on about a super big protein source, survival food and natural solar panels.  He said quite a lot and then said he wanted to cultivate algae; and, so he did:

Well, this is what I said:

“Well okay, you can breed your algae in your spare time…but first clean the farm up!”

(That is the Chinese in me coming out which he tells me is endearing at times).

So, more pictures of cleared up farm…

Look, I can actually walk about:
