The last few months have been quite hectic. So this is a catch up of what has happened since I last posted. More than 40 pigs have been trapped and shot in the valley - but we are still getting serious pig damage in the orchard.
The second cottage opened at the end of June and it has been fully booked ever since. There are a few vacancies still available in November. This has been a major change to our lifestyle. A bit like having a second child I expect. Breakfast is now a major production - we have split roles and I get to walk the dogs and Digby tends to cook the breakfast. Guests still keep us entertained and amused - such interesting backgrounds with great storyies.
No flowering on the mangosteens yet - we live in hope. Have a crop of Abius and Star Apples and Soursops at the moment.
The weather has been wet - much to our joy and guest chagrin - but you can now feel the change in the temperature - more humid and loads of sweat after working in the orchard for a short time. Not really looking forward to the next few months, but the ocean is finally flat and great for sea kayaking.
