our weekend at the family home
one thousand metres up
with my grandfather, 96, telling stories
of barefoot winters and hard agricultural work

what to do with those stray chickens?
luckily, after much circling, they worked their way back in )

there are a few more - maybe tomorrow )

the central plain already shorn and bundled

but in the foothills and their mountain 

the shoots are young and green .   .   .

hope you had a great weekend !

a sofa stripped naked despite sticky fingers and jumping toes still on the loose  |  an imd (instant mood doll) to comfort difficult moments of the day  |  paper-like squash flowers from the garden,  to be stuffed with anchovy + halloumi, then deep-fried. or filled with rice ?  |  a quick gift tag with card (6cm x 6cm) / washi tape / linen string
