It’s been reasonably warm, sometimes even hoy during the sunny days. But suddenly, and it appeared like that happened overnight, the warm nights turned cold. As in 6° C during the nights. And even the temperature during the day almost halved.

It’s happening – Solar PV to embrace the sun

We have been thinking about solar PV on and off for a few years now. Looking forward to lots of sunny days and being able to provide even more sustainable accommodation for our guests.

Last night was equinox – a good reason to have a bonfire and celebrate with our guests and some friends.

We have been using the good weather over the last two days for maintenance and w**d spraying outside. I could not initially find our cows. They were hiding in a corner behind the manuka trees.

“Silver Shadow” is her full name, typically just called “Silver”, and she is the queen of the house. She is an excellent model and she goes beyond the typical cat posing characteristics.
