It’s June and we’re still waiting for permits. It is not always easy to have the necessary patience, but after the responsible office in the building authority and also the mayor have repeatedly assured us that there is nothing standing in the way of the project, that it simply takes time, we are happy about all the small steps that are being taken…

…Meanwhile, our small fruit trees are sprouting and thriving and some are even beginning to bear fruit.

Our neighbor fills us a deposito with water and so we can at least fill our water bottles for watering on site.
