The beautiful little shaded table corner at the farm, an ancient metal table and warped wooden chairs under a canopy of twisting vines and branches. It’s a lovely little space, with shafts of afternoon sunlight glittering through the leaves of the large conifer tree that looms above it.

We’ve installed the last of the summer’s irrigation system in the vegetable garden at home, picked and distilled another row of cornflower at the farm, and sent off a little order of our extra virgin biological olive oil to Genova, so that’s fun! There’s also much work to do at the computer, so we’re often dividing our time.
