Broad sowing

This bucket of potential is going to be broad sown in a paddock I am working on at the moment. 

It is full of winter legumes, mustard, wheat and some flowers that may take.

In the spring I will sprinkle another mix before pulsing the sheep through the paddock.

Plaster mix

The ingredients for our plaster mix. We are still playing a little with proportions but at the moment we are going with 1/3 clay. 1/3 agregate and 1/3 fibre.
These small batches are mixed in the wheelbarrow easily.

Bonfires

To celebrate the solstice we have an annual bonfire.
We start by sharing food from this land to honor the abundance.
We then make and shoot fire arrows with the memories of a year past.
This year a phoenix flew through the flames and then went up in flames as we set our intentions for the new year and then cooked sausages in the coals before making charcoal with what was left to return to the land that supports us.

Sausage sticks

As the nights get longer and air cooler bonfires on the beach a great evening activity.

This year there is an abundance of sausage cooking sticks.
