The olive harvest is in and the first batch of unfiltered olive oil is now in the UK. Gales have shaken the valley, but there was a break, blues skies, and a chance to walk back 10,000 years.....
Early starts, nets repaired and ready, one eye on the nature .... and a very special memory of the Glenn Miller sound.
Calm before the storm, before the leaves fall. Memories of childhood, painful and magical. The need to get down to the sea.
Have you ever tasted the fruits of strawberry or persimmon trees? What do you think net zero means with regard to climate damaging emmisions? Life at Mother's Garden and, perhaps, words to ease you to sleep.
Gentle tales from Mother's Garden, bringing Mediterranean nature into your home and maybe, just maybe, helping you to relax, to sleep. You are most welcome.
