It's 6 months today since my arrival at Los Ruices. I have to day that the time has hope very quickly and so much has happened during that time. Some good, some bad, some funny, some sad.
Despite everything I can't imagine being anywhere. Being so close to nature in such a beautiful location brings me so much pleasure whether it's stumbling across orchids in my fields or watching a kestrel hovering in a stiff wind over the vineyard or, even, working through the rain with the neighbours to clear landslips on the track.
Every day throws up some new challenge but I'm still very positive about making the place 'work' in some form or other though what form that will take will isn't entirely clear. However it's still early days and I know that I need to see a year through before I can even start to understand what I've really got.
With snow on the ground, life looks very different from that hot and dusty day when I drove up the track in the van.
