We began our project, which is making a series of raised beds for home-grown vegetables, made out of old railway sleepers, some of which we reclaimed from a collapsed bridge across one of the channel banks. It has been nice to stop travelling and to settle into a pattern of working in the fresh air; we have been sensible with the application of suncream, headwear and sunnies. The scorching weather has not yet arrived, making labouring much easier than it will be in 35 degrees. Meika the dog is keen to join in any rides on the 'mule' or in the 'ute' when not chasing bees. Claire is beginning to look like a proper Aussie farmer's wife (a paddock of almond trees is in the background) :
The veggie garden involves post-thumping using the tractor and utilising recycled vine posts and the like.
