the elements - wind




It got very windy last week.  And of course, since we are on the top of a hill next to an old windmill, it gets very very windy.  It seems to come rushing up hill.  So it rushed and took off the corrugated roof that we had put on a few weeks ago.  Whoosh!  Took all the beams as well.  And whisked it over to the other side of the building.  We had gone to the cafe for a coffe after lunch, and I could see the outline of our house from the cafe table.  I said  The roof looks strange.   Our neighbour, Jacinto had shook his head at the roof before and had told us it would blow away, so at least he could get some pleasure in telling us he told us so.  Ah well, we have to learn that the first year in a permaculture project is mostly spent in observation.... And luckily, no one was hurt and miraculously, all the tin stayed straight.

The potatoes are coming on, grateful for a little rain.
