January 2009

‘My son Ruben in the wattle and daub round-house, which is still awaiting a proper roof, but the Co-op have just given us 870 to build a turf sofa and put in herb garden around it.

Early January. Freezing day at the garden. The water pipes are frozen and we couldn’t get a fork into the ground. We need these heavy frosts to kill the slugs and bugs.
