It's rained quite a lot!!


No building happening last week at all. It hasn't stopped raining for 10days! Hopefully the builders get on with things next week- the sun is scheduled to shine for 3 days. 11 days till moving day!!! 

But things have still changed around the land.

The grass has grown
 4 March 
14 April! 

And The water tank overflowed! 


The Bathroom flooded! Doesn't help that the drain isn't really attached! Just something else to get on to. 

All this rain has made time for researching. Lully gave us this garden guide to help us plan our garden. We've been looking at planting fruit trees on the septic field drains. Don't worry- it's fully safe to eat septic tank fruit ( goggle said) 

Our first of probably hundreds of plants. 
Two plum trees, loquat, pear and peach tree.
Still on out list: mandarine, nashi pear, apples and nectarine.
I guess I'll be getting into bottling??

The sun decided to show up for a bit today to dry out the framing.
We had the inspectors out today. They came prepared for the mud which has been created by... 

Rowan digging the power cable. 150+ metre of trench to dig... And the clay is so glugggy.

  1. Ok, I know I shouldn't be laughing... But I think you got your plum/plumb confused! Well at least I hope you did, because I wouldn't want to taste your bottled plumb... Not sure what parts you would bottle!
