New Beginnings

The living room-bedroom with the magical stove which makes the place nice and warm


View through the living room window, onto my little start of a garden. Note Bubble the cat on the very very makeshift compost bin...

The cave. Partly painted. It'll be all green soon enough:)

So, this is it, my new home, wow, I'm lucky , very lucky, have a cosy little place to myself, all on a lovely organic farm owned by lovely people, abundant in veggies and eggs, and all for a day's work a week. Come visit.:) It was a long move, jeez, all the packing, painting, moving, unpacking sealing, whatever, and the rest of stuff what was going on, but anyhow, I'm slowly settling down and establishing a bit of a good routine.
Tell you more the next time!

Can't believe how quickly this month has passed!I'll try and document the happenings of it all. Since my last post, the sun returned whilst I was still visiting Hungary, so I made sure to soak it up as much as possible - it was a great 10 days altogether, spent with family and friends, little ones and old ones. Hanging out, walking in woods, smoking pipe by the river Danube, meeting the soundest 98 years old lady, playing with my niece and nephew, drinking great hungarian wines and the rest. Here's a few photos from those days.

The coolest 98 year old lady!

My dear friend Iza

Made a new friend too

Watching cartoons





I came back home on the 14th, and been very busy preparing and recording with the band for over a week, then and in the meantime preserving veggies from the garden, picking blackberries, and getting -at least mentally- ready for the move to my new home.
Here's some photos of the recording and whatever else I find.

I'm back in Hungary at the moment for a visit, and yesterday a few of us went to the Alps in Austria for a hike. It was wonderful, not very visual though as we were walking in clouds all day.
Here's a few photos.

The Magical Yew Woods of Killarney

I went to Killarney yesterday to visit my friend Aileen and took a walk in the magical yew woods. They certainly feel like the tree of death and rebirth when you're there.
Here's a few pictures.

The first little red tomatoes!

The day has come, yuppi! A few days before I'm off to Hungary for 10 days, the first tomatoes started ripening! They are on a few tumbler plants, rather sick looking (they lost all their leaves a while ago, and live in a totally unfertile windowbox we inherited...) but they are tasty!:) I'd say when I'm back from galavantimg, there'll be canning madness, as all the plants in the greenhouse will be bursting from red and yellow beauties! yuppi!
I just took a look on the garden after being away for two days, and it is amazing how much food there is! Abundance :)
