Need to get the drone up in the air to really show you how the infrastructure has developed but it is indeed mostly done now. Which means it is time to expand operations!

Am so pleased this has inspired you to plant sunflowers. They really are the best. Somehow ours seem to keep flowering for a period of 2-3 months, i think because they are not 'planted' in the usual way. Am munching on some now in fact and they are just so creamy. Do you happen to know of a way to de-shell sunflower seeds on mass?

10000 euros is the going price for 5000m2 of agricultural land here, on which we are only permitted to build agricultural structures legally speaking but i think we are okay with this. Our 'water irrigation holding area' will be the eco-pool. And our 'tool storage shed' will be a small stone house at the edge of the forest, with temporary beds if we need them. All 'fences' around the perimeter will be living bushes which produce berries. Perhaps there will be more structures but i may not talk about them publicly. Certainly we don't intend to move from our small village quite yet. On the contrary, in a month the Mayor is paying to renovate our rented home so that for the first time ever we are going to be warm this winter! Can't wait :)
