sunshine and seaweed

Today was Saturday, the sun shone and no one in our house was sick. Such a combination, we have not experienced for many many weeks and thus we abandoned the house jobs and went to the beach this afternoon. We collected three supermarket bags of seaweed and then went for a walk up a hill to look out over the township. Interesting how looking down on a town shows quite different shapes to walking through it.

First thing this morning we received two trailer loads of wood. Beech and Eucalyptus, cut up and semi dry. The teenage son of a work colleague had cut this wood up himself and was selling it to raise money. This wood is, hopefully, the beginning of our project to collect wood a year ahead of when we need to use it.
