Lots of snow and freezing temperatures till the end of march made this winter one of the coldest in decades!
Fortunately, there were no floods, the rainfall was plenty but slow so it was a very good winter for the trees who are now full of flower buds promising a big harvest, lets see. Also the long wet winter helped the regrowth, even if some small plants and shoots suffered from the late frost and snow.








There was a major garden restructuring and we have made lots of long, straight beds, less cute but easier to cultivate.






A lot of work went into pruning the burnt trees and collecting the wood and the usual spring pruning of the olives.





Also the herd of sheep is growing fast with nine lambs born this winter. They are grazing in the fields now with Skiep, the little sheep dog, protecting them. As the family got bigger they will move into a larger, cozy house soon.







And finally, we are making our own proper timber!!



Now spring is finally here, sweeter than ever and we are enjoying the sea of flower all around
