We are living in a yellow .....

We starting painting our house, the bright yellow looks smart.

Richard offered to help us with painting, thank you Richard. Always good to have you around.

Next time we take you fishing.

The back and side off the house is ready, hopeful the weather stays dry so we can finish the front off the house also.

Linda needs her hair to trim.

                                             time I trimmed her hair and it looks good.

Not So Cute and Cuddly As You Think

Not Sure how many of you have been watching the TV programme about Urban Foxes but believe me it paints the fox as a cute and cuddly animal, sadly this week we found out to our cost just how wrong that image is.

This was Friday evening and Linda and Merve treat the chickens to a bit of TLC, having had the chickens for around a year they were hand tame and a big part of our daily life, the eggs are also fantastic quality and with 4 being laid most days we sure had plenty.

Sadly the local cute and cuddly fox somehow got into the chicken house on friday night and killed three out of the four of our girls

All you Fox fans take a close look 2 of the girls had their heads ripped off and the other a broken neck, the garden looked like the killing fields, believe me the fox would have his head ripped off if I got my hands on him, the gun is loaded and ready for him.

Two visitors from holland.

My sister Margriet and her husband Ben came over for a week, we all had a great time and the weather gods were smiling on us.

         We went to some nice places en of course we celebrate my birthday.

Thank you Margriet en Ben for everything.

A great adventure.

     

                                           We had a great time fishing and watching wild life.


                                           And even in the jungle there is time for romance.

We had a wonderful holiday in India.

                              We changed houses for two weeks for our holiday in India

                                We lived in the jungle.  And there is still a lot off wildlife.

                                 We were lucky to see the first day the elephants, incredibly.

Jigsaw is Finished

Ade has finished the floor and we are very pleased, the oak goes well with the character of number 20.

OK so whats next? Watch this space

The floor is just like a puzzle.

We are busy to lay, glue and get the panels inn.  And it looks already great.

Even Florence try to help.

                            Yesterday Joy an Sam spend a day with us, Sam is 8 weeks now.
           

     

     

Next project is coming.

                                           
First big job in the new year is to lay a new floor.

But before we started Ade had a cosy moment with his grand daughter.

It is not easy to empty a room and put a new floor in.

We have to rough it for a few days but we are getting a nice floor.

Happy new year and all the best wishes for 2012!

Sometimes dreams come true.


My wish always was to have a camper but i never thought it would be come true, Ade had  the same wish.
Now we had the opportunity to buy a camper and we found one, 10 years old but a beauty.

 


                                          Hope we have a nice time whit our "Barbelbus"
