OUR THIRD NEW HOME IN THE ECO VILLAGE
A tale from natural born small scale gypsies
 |
My darling cooking my lunch
our living room with a view
both of us laboring on our parking space
filling it up with blue stone chip
having a break before finishing our parking lot
voila - finito
Samuel correcting my sign on the top of the road
Indy scanning the fields for something to hunt or admiring the view - who knows?
Our house again taken from different angles and impressions of the daily sunrises we can admire from our bed.
I haven' t seen any other creature eating our kitchen scraps so enthusiastically
Nearly every morning we host quite a few feathered visitors bouncing around on our rooftop, which is
is very tempting for the pussy cat and thus feels the need to explore
the main view with the Brynderwyn's and the Otamatea river
See you later!

the BIG movie of me
... gelieve op de link te klikken voor de filmpie op you tube ... dit zijn dan bewegende beelden in plaats van foto's .... especially for those who wanted to see me driving....
Film is opgenomen in de achtertuin van de eco-village, Mangawhai Heads, en in Kaiwaka met de Brynderwyn hills op achtergrond.
.... vanwege copyright rechten heb ik er geen muziek opgezet...

Spring has sprung!
Spring is my favorite season in this country - the promise of warmer and dryer wheather gives me a bit more energy. This year spring started quite good by enjoying three fairly dry and sunny weeks and see below the result - the fruit trees are blossoming in our orchards. Not to mention the many flowers in the meadows with their bright cheerfull colours.
This one is taken in the apple orchards belonging to the entire community - last autumn we harvested the apples to be pressed into juice and we yielded 40 of 2 liter bottles - yummy
The trees above are peaches from our private orchards - Sabine and Wolfgang have invested already 15 years of labour on their land and created several orchards which yield every summer and autumn many pears, plums, apples, peaches, oranges, bananas, persimons, figs, feijoa's, etcetera..
these are our watchdogs Jessie ( above) and Lily ( below) - Jessie is a good hunter and catches mice and rats - Lily is great in scaring of bigger birds away like hawks or pukeko's.
This is a view of our veggie garden and the Brynderwyn hills - extinct vulcano's - a view that I like the most at our place
Daisy and her little calf Diamond - taken a wee few hours after her birth - unfortunately Daisy died of milk fever quite sudden with no real symptoms for us to detect and so we missed the chance to intervene.
Taken from our porch - end of winter and start of spring also gives us many opportunities to enoy rainbows - I have never seen as many rainbows in one season as in NZ.
a snippet of the communual land - with a view of the creek and the communual pond where we pump out water for our veggie gardens and supplying the cattle beasts. That pond
also harbours a swan family - there are 5 cygnets this time.
the entrance to Samuel's wood workshop and his tractor
Samuel and Wolfgang are cything the grass along side one of ours pond - I think we have two of them
and then our ducks who gives me lot of laughs every morning when I feed them- they are just funny to watch
that's all for now folks - see ye later
